Just curious how many of you actually use it??

I used it tonight after a long day at the l.a. county fair and realized it was my first time using it in a couple year.

Never been a fan of the car doing things by itself, I like having control. But my feet were in pain so I let it rest haha

 

I do a lot of highway driving and use it all the time.

It keeps me from going too fast or too slow and helps maximize MPG.

 

Never around town and only on long trips where I'm on flat stretches of Interstate with virtually no traffic. Never in rain, either for obvious reasons.

 

Over here, I don't have a stretch of road to use it on. But when I am in the US doing long hauls on the interstate, yes.

 

Yes on highways when trying to get good mileage.

 

Not often at all. There's usually too much traffic and too many variables to want to use cruise control....I'd just end up constantly readjusting anyway. Have only ever used it a handful of times when roads were empty and on long stretches of highway.

 

i even use cc in the city to keep my speeds in check. i used to get tickets left and right and none since i've done this for the past 3 years or so =)

 

ALL the time on my way to Michigan. If anyone has ever driven on I-65 from Indianapolis to Chicago, they'd know why. Very flat, boring stretch of highway. There was actually just an article last week about how I-65 has more accidents than any other highway in Indiana because drivers get into a "daze" and stop paying attention. This year alone there have been more than 1000+ accidents. I try to stay in the right lane with the cruise pegged at 75.

 

I use it occasionally on long trips but don't really use it around here because there's too much traffic. That and all of the idiots that drive around here.

 

When in Toronto, not a chance, even on the highways. Things are always changing. It's great to use out of city to keep speeds in check and mileage maximized.

 

there should be two moro options :P
i dont have it
and
it doesnt work :P

 

Same.

Plus I'm a lead-foot and tickets are just too damned expensive. Long gone are the days of the $60 speeding ticket. More like $150 - $180, if not more. Can't afford that.

I typically set mine at ~7 mph over the posted speed and I've never had any issues.

 

I always use it. Keeps me from driving too slow and speeding, when I'm not paying full attention on the road. And on any kind drive.

 

All the time...

 

I'll use it for long trips, but otherwise, no.

 

thats alot

 

95% of my travels are highway which the CC is used just about all the time so long as traffic allows.

 

Use it very often and definitely wouldn't buy a car that doesn't have one. Just last night did about 60+ miles with cruise control.

 

I rarely use my car on a long trip, but when I do, I use it to rest my foot. I love playing with gears on the highway too much.

 

I use it esp on long freeway drives. You can 'drive' with your cruise... It does not take long to figure out how to increase speed by hitting the + on the cruise.

I also use it on 'surface' roads as it keeps my speed in check. Good way to not speed.

 

I used to use it more when my commute was longer, but now I only use it on long trips. If I had adaptive cruise control I'd prob use it more. Also I feel I can regulate throttle better than the cruise control can when going up hills, it seems to thrust too much to catch up whereas I can give it just enough gas to not lose any speed.

 

I wish I had Distronic Plus.

Rarely.

 

+1

 

I use it every day. I cant live with out it with the amount of driving i do.

 

Couldn't have said it better.

 

+1

I'll use it on the small highways.

 

On any kind of longish drive (20+ min of straight highway) or if I feel tired, yes. But my commutes usually happen at peak hours, so CC is a no-no.

 

I rarely use it, even when I have gone on road trips.

 

Really?!

I don't use it all the time (maybe half the time or so, maybe a little less) but I-5 without cruise control would be cramp city.

 

Really!?

I play with my gears so much on the highways to the point where I have to rest my left foot a little!

 

Yea, I've driven to vegas and back a couple times and both times i never used cruise control. Now i'm thinking I should haha, I dunno why I stopped using it, its not like I sit in traffic too

How much MPG do you actually save with cruise control? This could be good for me haha since its difficult for me to get over 20mpg haha although my last two fillups have been 20&21 mpg

 

I hope you were bored when you made this thread.

 

^Why? Seems like a perfectly reasonable question to me.

Never in rain. Sometimes it is too hilly where I am. Like another posted, the car wants to kick down a gear when I can climb without changing gears. But I-10 to Houston, probably 70% of the way; done deal.

To the user who stated, "...when I'm not paying full attention to the road."

 

I never use it. I do a lot of highway driving. I just keep an eye on my speed. I just have never been a fan of it.

 

It's very easy to get going a little fast(or slow) unless you're paying VERY close attention. Especially on a long drive, that'd be very fatiguing. Out here in boring old, flat Kansas, CC is a must.

 

Haven't used it in a while.

When im on the freeway there is usually to much traffic..

 

Don't use it hardly at all.

Contrary to popular belief cruise control kills MPG because the car is always trying to maintain a certain speed regardless of changes in grade conditions.

Hyper-mile peeps never use the CC.

 

I think I read the same articles.

 

At least were I drive is not all flat and straight. I think part of it is control. I like knowing that my feet are on the peddle.
