Okay. Got off the phone with Honda in Torrance (Customer Service).

Wait on the oil change for the maintenance minder (Especially with the special additives) and don't worry about Cruise Control.

What does, "dont worry about Cruise Control" mean?

Go ahead and use it?
Or not?

I average about 5 mpg better without the cruise control. I think its something to do with better control of speed up and down hills than the control can provide. Maybe on a flat road it might be the same, but for me the "manual" method works the best at keeping the speed close as well as keeping the rpm's down. I think I have a steady foot...that helps a lot with these hybrids too.
