Needing to "keep up with the traffic" and not going slower than an engine's "sweet spot" are both myths as far as I'm concerned. I haven't "kept up" for 40 years and have never been rear ended or even have anyone give me the finger because most understand that a large, heavy, slow stopping vehicle should be going slower. The "sweet spot" is more in the driver's mind than in the actual engine. Slower means better MPG down to the point of downshifting which would increase RPM's.
