I spend a lot of time in 30 and 40mph limits, which I usually observe using the cruise control* and it's always in 3rd or 4th sucking fuel out of the tank.  (on the same roads in my Focus I just stick it in 5th and it potters along quite happily around 1200 to 1500 rpm and that's only a 4-cylinder 1.8) * another niggle - cruise only works above 25mph so is useless in those new-fangled 20mph areas.
