The freeways in So. Cal are not conducive to much cruise control and it's a bit hilly so I haven't had much run time to find the best place to set cruise control and see where to go to get the best mpg. 55mph seems to get about 37mpg but that REALLY pisses everyone off......LOL 65 seems to get about 32mpg. I have not had a chance yet to get above 65 but I might tonight as I'll be out after midnight. So for those of you who do a lot of Hwy driving what is the best setting for mpg?
I have also found out that when driving in town in stop light traffic if you get up to speed and then take your foot of the gas and then just press enough to cruise at the speed you need it kicks the tranny down a gear or two and greatly increases the MPG. For a while I was getting about 15 MPG and couldn't figure it out till I did this. Just a small change in driving style helps tons with the MPGs.
