I tried once with the scenic, but with the headwind I had the feeling to drive a wall so I DWL at 65-75 mph. Since then, my wife is the primary scenic driver and I drive megane on which I use P&G at mid speed with success :

The tires pumped up to max sidewall and the rear wheel skirts are permitting to glide longer
but the later are changing the feeling of the car so much that I'm now accelerating more and often over my max speed. In megane I don't have a real time FE display so only my butt-o-meter can tell me about my driving. If the coasting duration isn't longer than the pulse duration then I DWL (drive with load).
I'm in a 3 days week-end trip. My wife set a schedule forcing us to get the highway... Thanks to storms we changed the schedule and I avoided the highway
