Aftermarket cruise control
From EcoModder Forum Wiki
Introduction
IF you're the type of driver who has trouble with a lead foot on the open road, an electronic throttle nanny will save you fuel.
(That said, keep in mind that a dedicated ecodriver can get even better fuel economy than cruise control while maintaining the same average speed.)
Installing a cruise unit can also permit you to test vehicle mods more rigorously by removing the experimenter's right foot from the equation.
