If your mileage is really high (you didn't say) and you live on the
prairies (I can't tell) and you have cruise control, it's probably your
TPS. Use an Ohmeter with a needle on it, and check the Throttle Position
Sensor for a spot where it 'jumps off-scale'. That spot will correspond
to your cruising speed / RPM.

'Crawling' around looking for a parking spot in first gear will be very
jerky. You didn't say what kind of tranny you have.
