Fuel Economy - What do you get out of a tank? (3rd gens only)

eh?

i dont think it does. if anything it uses, well, not less. but as opposed to an unsteady foot, and fluctuating throttle openings.

Using cruise control uses more fuel than not using it. I've had this discussion on here before, not meaning to be rude, but believe it or not. Try for yourself.

yes it uses more fuel on the AWD too, and I"m surprised at how much more - almost 30% as it constantly accelerates then back off, and accelerates again to match the set speed - I think the cruise control could be tuned with better in-build intelligence. I don't use it.

yeah but it shouldnt fluctuate that much. unless you are on a very uneven/hilly road.
