Default Re: Cruise Control and MPG

I have tried both cruise and the pedal on my daily commute of 30 miles each way ,cruise often kills my mpg as it tries to maintain the speed in the uphill with about 4k rpm ..... which apparently kills my MPG.So it is better to use pedal for short travel and cruise for long distance,as long distance will not make much difference whether u use CC or pedal..The highest MPG i acheived for a tank is 53.14 which was last week. I am happy about that.I really wonder about some of the guys get around 60mph.I like to be in that boat.
