EMcC Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I get better MPG in my Discovery when using cruise control. I don't get to use it very often tho as other cars tend to slow down on hills so I end up having to brake and it cuts the CC off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kes Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 My hyundai differs very little when on CC used in 'normal' driving. However, I once drove 250 miles on the motorway mostly with it on - speed was high but CC gave maybe 3-5 mpg less - which, when you get 40 normally, is significant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
