On the last few trips I've been setting the cruise at 58 or so,
just to see how it compares to the modified P&G I do in the commute to and from work.
I' going to do a table or graphic once I get a few more runs,
but the slower cruise has so far yielded about the same or better mpg than the P&G of speeding up down hill and then holding a contact throttle position going up and trying to keep the mpg's up while not holding up traffic.
This sometimes is not wise as the traffic gets upset as I speed up down hill then slow up hills.
The 58 or so cruise had much less cars 'getting around' me while going slow uphill,
and held a good mpg.
The cruise is a lot less tiring driving too.
