Save is probably better for shorter journeys, and sounds like it would be ideal for your motorway part. Not sure if you're aware, but Save is essentially the same as the car does when the battery shows empty, but it tries to maintain the existing range. So it's no less efficient unless you've got a nearly-full battery, when the charging rate (and regen) is much lower.
My suggestion was really for a longer journey where you know you'll have a significant amount of slower driving towards the end after a long, high-speed section. As mentioned earlier, it's best to arrive at your charging point with an empty battery to make the most efficient use of your fuel. To be fair, the car does pretty well by itself in 'D', but it doesn't know the route as well as you
