does your car waste more gas when your using the cruise?? im guessing no because it stays at low rpms

 

Drivers are often advised to use cruise control during long highway drives on level roads. The idea is that it prevents "speed creep" -- the tendency to gradually start going faster the longer you drive -- and cuts down on other unnecessary speed changes which can eat up gas.

Don't want to hijack your thread but what is the cruise control like on a small motor? D15b7 is what I have, and I'm just afraid if I put it in it will downshift and upshift like crazy for me (I have an automatic). The automatic trannys dont seem too smart lol.
