Dean, cruise controls are known to be bad on fuel economy when the road elevates, because the control will press the gas pedal more to maintain the programmed speed.
When approaching a grade, turn off the cruise control, and. despite the car slowing down, maintain the same amount of gas pedal pressing up the hill.
