Since getting the GasDwarf, I've been using CC a lot.
Even down into 20mph zones.
When I briefly tested it, CC seemed to give really good results, compared to manual (footual ?) control.
So I just resorted to the habit of getting up to my chosen speed, and hit CC ...

But I've recently been triggered to NOT use the cruise control , as a test.

Guess what : FC was way lower all across the board !

I've matched my previous FC record.
But that was a record that was likely only due to the CNG station not giving its normal pressure ... (compressor was already running when I arrived there)

I've been seeing extra-ordinary values on the build-in computer - like 10% lower than usual.

I seem to have been driving a tad slower though - which is partly due to the car losing some speed when you ease off the gas .
The smallest change in throttle, results in a speed change ... with a lot of lag.



Oh : The land around here is pretty much flat .
