wahey - another chance for me to use my photo
this was acheived over the course of 130 ish rather stressful miles, driving at around 55-60 mph.
Yes, tailing lorries where I could
yes, letting gravity speed me down the hills, and slow me down going up them
NO braking at all if I could possibly avoid it
Hardly any throttle
Certainly in 6th all the way (except on long up hill bits when it started to labour a bit)
And no cruise used
no idea if it would have been better or worse with cruise on - but I suspect worse, as it would have tried to maintain 60mph up the hills, whereas I was content to slow down to 50mph if that meant not pushing the gas pedal any further down
