A computer system comprising processing circuitry is provided. The processing circuitry is configured to evaluate, based on topography data of an upcoming road segment, use of upcoming topography to achieve a target speed range of a vehicle operating in a topography fuel efficiency mode. The processing circuitry is further configured to determine all trailing vehicles within a predetermined range are operating in a fuel efficiency mode corresponding to the topography fuel efficiency mode and responsive to determining that all trailing vehicles within the predetermined range are operating in a propulsion mode corresponding to the topography fuel efficiency mode, permit a current speed of the vehicle to temporarily deviate below the target speed range of the vehicle and to use the upcoming topography to achieve the target speed.
