You want to avoid minimal throttle positions.
I still don't like the question, because participating in traffic dictates the operating parameters.

So say in the US, two lane flat straight road daytime light to medium traffic great weather, 60mph speed limit, how slow can you drive before becoming a nuisance/blocking traffic?
Two days ago I made a trip around NW side of Lake Okeechobee SB Hwy 78 (40? miles), with lights on, ran on cruise control at 51mph, stayed to right to allow great vision for passing by other drivers. Many cars passed without even slowing down, others tailgated nearly for miles, and finally passed me after we were both passed numerous times.
I get it, some people cannot pass.
How much responsibility do I share here, while saving gas?
