Steady state mpg doesn't penalize heavy trucks either. Once the weight is up to speed it doesn't matter anymore. So say you live in rural Montana like me, you can get on the on ramp, set the cruise, and drive that speed until you run out of gas. After a few hours that 20 seconds you spent getting up to 65mph means little.
