A smart cruise control would be a fantastic feature for many, and would save a lot of fuel. RH77 modified his so that it could only pull a certain amount of extra throttle when encountering hills, but nobody has done exactly what you're talking about.

FYI: What features on your ULTIMATE fuel economy instrumentation?

I bet there are lots of other small things you could do to improve MPG at either end of your drive on the crowded highway.

Watch for a new feature on the site later this week: 100+ efficient driving tips for all kinds of situations.
