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.

For gas savings, I have to go with the highway. I use the highways going north here in Michigan, because the roads, north of Lansing, aren't too bad and I can cruise at 65 mph generally without having to pass anyone. Easy.
I will never take I-80 out west again. Coming back home on US-2 was sooooooo much better. Easy. Comfortable. The highways I took in Indiana and Illinois were an absolute shambles and parts of them in South Dakota were too. Yuck. NEVER AGAIN!! LOL
