The only time I keep the same mph driving between 9PM and 6AM, cruise control on at [undisclosed] speed

This is the ideal place for me (see image)
lol, yeah, Bay Area traffic/drivers can get stupid. I'm surprised when I find drivers slower than me (I really shouldn't be since I see it daily) in the slow lane, and I switch over to the third lane to pass, and I encounter someone driving even slower. -_- Then there are those who camp on the fast lane which is flat out stupid.

Cruise control uses more gas imo since it keeps fluctuating the throttle % to manage the speed. But then again, unless you have a Scan Gauge or something equivalent, it's hard to know exactly how much you're stepping on the gas.
