Hills and cruise=bad mileage if your an ecodriver, if your a regular driver, it depends (regular as in gets on the gas up big hills to keep going 60).

Very true I was in vermont going up a decent size mountin with cruise on. And all of a sudden I knocked it down a gear or two and threw it to the floor. Cruise control is speed control not throtle control. It dont care what kind of rpms your running or how it fast it gets there it just wants to get to the disired speed and stay there. I've had it A couple of times where I was going up hill and had it on and It hit the throttle so fast I started to slide. Fun times. Just for the record never use it in the rain.
