As a general rule the very second your pulled over the police are doing an official investigation and Miranda be damned, anything you say or do can and will be used against you in a court of law.
If you want to be hard nosed you could say, I dont do interviews. or I dont talk to police. You can also ask if your being detained or free to go. if the police officer says your being detained you can then ask what are you being charged with to which he/she will need to figure something. If they dont, then you can say am I free to go.
Or, in these days, you can give one of the justified reasons for travel, "i need to get gas" "i need to get groceries" "im going to the doctor" etc.
IANAL, but it may be quicker to just give a smile and a direct answer of what they need to hear to prevent a ticket and be on your way than providing them with reason to give you a rectal cavity search.
