Maybe I'm ADHD, but I find it difficult. Regardless of what I know is best.
I've tried it both ways. If I drive at a speed of 65 mph for the trip, I get home in about 2 hours and 35 minutes depending on the traffic. The stress factor is significantly reduced and the fuel consumption is also significantly reduced. The SDL can average 28.5 on repetitive tanks.

If I drive at 70-75.........slow to 60.........increase to 70...........weave.........bob...........slow to 65...........increase to 75...........I get home in 2 hours and 28 minutes depending on the traffic.


The greatest variable in the trip is the traffic............the speed is really not relevant to the trip time unless you're going 400 miles or more.
