Thank you Coyote X for the encouragement to try the capacitor, and dcb for the VSS Delay idea. I will try upping the VSS Delay on the mpguino if I need to. The capacitor seems to work!

A Successful Debouncing of 1996 Geo Metro 1.0L w/ 140,000 miles:

100nF (same as .1 μF in radioshack units) ceramic disc capacitor connected from VSS to ground.
56k resistor connected from switched 12V to VSS

Now the speed is stable at 40+ MPH. Before, using only resistors, I was still getting bouncing of the speed in 40+ MPH range.
