The sweet spot for your car is actually more like 45-50 mph, but you are not really going to find long stretches of road with those speeds.

Try driving US highway 1 from Key Largo to Key West. It’s about 100 miles with a 45mph speed limit, at sea level. Set your cruise control at 45 on an evening with light traffic. It will be the best fuel economy you’ve ever seen in your car, by a wide margin.
