What is 'cruising speed'

In the original question, it appears the answer is more related to the window stickers on vehicles stating 'estimated MPG highway/city'. What is theoretical under optimum circumstances is rarely (if ever) seen in use, Just as there are no real ways to unequivocally state cruise and max speed for any particular vessel. Cruise and Max differ wildly from stated numbers to what is seen in real life.
