I was testing a coworkers commute in the HAH and I decided to be fair and use Cruise Control mostly as to give a proper idea as to likely mileage he would receive. I found that the Cruise control was an excellent driver. I noticed that it did everything possible to stay in "eco" mode. It seemed like I would have to have a pretty awesome feel in foot to equal it. Test yeilded 35.6 mpg on about a 40 mile commute.

After getting the sense that the CC worked hard to attain FE (I maybe wrong but that was the sense I got), I started using CC in my city commute which moves at around 35 to 40 miles per hour. I feel this may be a tool that gives your foot some rest and has the computer pinpoint the proper depth of throttle for remaining in eco mode.

Any thoughts?
