Interstate vs. secoundary roads?
I was wondering if driving the interstate using cruise countrol would save much gas verses the slow down, speedup of going thru towns? My truck seems to have a sweetspot towing of 63 mph.

Never worked to figure it out. I tow mostly on secondary roads due to my location and preferred destination of the Oregon Coast. We did hit I5 north for a trip to Mt. Rainer this year. I needed to down shift far less often as there is no 45mph, or 35mph curves you need to slow down for.
I have also been caught in traffic backups on 101! Stop and go and lots of hills. That will make for some bad fuel mileage.
