Then again, I have used cruise in my truck for the last three years more than most people might in 15 years, and then only because it tracks my location and loads up the engine before a climb and lets off before the top: a mini-hypermiler.
On long trips watching the MPG gauge helps me stay awake, and I surmise not having CC will help as well. Not to mention doing EOC and regennin'.

Oooohh boy, these next few months are gonna kill me.

What kind of CC system is that? I wonder if it could be modified to be a true hypermiling CC.
