The past few months, my longer trips have been about 60 miles away, and I have no problem slowing down and keeping the cruise set to 60 mph on the highway with the A/C on. I average 37 mpg with my 09 Accord (EPA highway rated 30 mpg) doing that. I came back late last night and since the traffic on the highway was light, I shut off the A/C and set the cruise to 50 mph. Arrived home with a 45 mpg average. There may have been a small tail wind to help with that, but I was impressed, as that was the first time I did highway travel with the cruise below 55 for the whole trip. By the way, the interstate minimum speed limit here in Iowa is 40 mph, so I was still legal.  ;)

 

I'm hoping to get 50-60 mpg on the highway with the Energi in EV Later mode doing speeds of 50-60 mph.
