Also, I find that truck drivers have a preference for maintaining a consistent low speed, rather than doing stop/start all the time. So I like to get in the slow lane with them, switch to a low gear, and drive using only the accelerator, losing imaginary good-driving points every time I have to touch the brake. Slower or faster overall? Meh. It's a lot less work/stress, which is a good trade as far as I'm concerned.
