Re: Buyer's Remorse
Your questions are great, and there should be a post just to talk about the ways to best use cruise control. You're right, though, that it's just about as easy for you to try it than it will be for me to type the answers!
I try to use cruise control ANY time I can. That means above 25 miles per hour. I try to minimize my city acceleration and deceleration, by anticipating stoplight changes, traffic flow, etc.
I usually accelerate with the gas pedal, although 'Resume' works perfectly fine. Between 25-42 miles per hour or so (depending on even the slightest of hills), you will get the best use of EV mode with cruise control on.
When you use the 'Cancel' feature (pull the stalk toward you), the 'Resume' will take you back to your pre-cancel speed.
The 'Cancel' and 'Resume' features make it simple to cancel cruise control as you approach the crest of a hill, then resume once you reach the crest. I will probably be the first on this site to wear out my cruise control magic wand (stalk) from overuse.
