FYI, driving the truck in this manner is similar to how people abuse the lean burn mode in the Insight and Civics to get supreme fuel economy. In many cases the power generated is not enough to sustain highway speeds so they drive slower like 50 mph or do a modified pulse & glide using lean burn in the glide part to extend the coasting aspect til they hit the bottom speed and reaccelerate.
