I like multi-lane roads where the speed limits are 45mph or lower. That way I can drive at 30-35mph in 5th gear and not disturb anyone, there is always a lane to pass. Another strategy on this type of road is EOC, I would probably do a 30-45mph EOC, using lights and hills to determine where to give it a burst of power.

Stoplights and stop signs can be a problem though. After you run a street a few times you start to learn to time the stoplights.

A lot of traffic can be a problem, but I am usually going slower than traffic so sometimes traffic jams solve themselves by moving past me or breaking up just as I arrive. A good excuse to drive slower.
