And when that cruise control system is developed, my name will be on the waiting list.
Luckily, there aren't many vehicles on the 4-lane that I drive. So lots of time for experimenting once I get Torque up and running consistently.

The cruise in this truck is the tightest I think I've ever seen. It doesn't allow the truck to get 1mph above or below the setting unless it's a really fast grade change.

I think I've got the potential to gain 2-3 MPG in tires alone, but will drive with these until they wear out........which should be this fall.
