Tips For Highway Cruising Without Cruise Control?

Does anyone have any tips for highway cruising without cruise control? The 300 SL doesn't have it, and, without constantly glancing at the speedometer and making small adjustments to the throttle, I can't seem to keep a steady speed.

Both of the other cars I've owned have had cruise control (C230 and E320), and I never realized the extent to which I depend on it. Without it, I find myself focusing too much on the speedometer at the expense of awareness of the outside road and traffic environment.

Should I resign myself that maintaining a steady speed without cruise control isn't realistic, or am I missing something?
