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.

Went to Atlanta yesterday to pick up our new fiver. Traveled interstates abbout 90% of the time with cruise set at 62. We averaged 12.1 mpg per DIC, that's pulling a 40' 12600 lb fiver and 143 miles each way. Would have been better but sat in 20 miles of stop and go traffic.
When traveling to the lake we use 2 and 4 lane roads with several long grades and average 10-10.5 mpg.
