- Keep your tires properly inflated to the recommend pressures shown in your door jamb

I appreciate your commitment, but I would never drive it within those constraints unless I was desperate for a charge, and frankly won’t allow myself to get into that type of situation.
For me, set the HVAC where I’m comfortable and ACC set to typical traffic flow mph; generally around 80 mph which is about 78 mph actual.
I don’t consider my M60 to be an ‘economy’ car; far from it and will never drive it with that mindset. I do however use ‘Efficiency’ mode on the highway very often as the decrease in ‘responsiveness’ isn’t an issue in steady state conditions.
YMMV, obviously.
