Cruisin' with cruise control...
 

Alright so I'm driving the Honda CRV (sorry) down the highway and the wifey asks "Why don't you use the cruise control?". [eyecrazy] What? Why? "Because it's easy and you don't have to watch your speed." But this isn't the interstate honey, it's a two lane highway...

So this got me thinking, how many of you guys (and gals) out there use it? Me, I only use it on the interstate because I hate seeing the "less horsey" vehicles play the transmission-throttle-cable-tug-of-war and rev 4 grand for the sake of 3 mph. That and I KNOW I get better fuel mileage with it off.

After too many interviews with the smokies and their disco lights......

I figure speeding ticket$$$ are fetting expensive so I try to use the cruise more so I don't get rollin' to fast with all the Cummins power. Just takes longer to get their :(

I use cruise control on our other vehicles (i.e., Durango, Acura TL-S, BMW motorcycle :o ) when I'm on the open road. I seldom use it in the 3500, however, since it's almost always towing our 5th wheel.

WHen it was workin on my truck

I used to use it on the highways and interstates on longer trips, i love cruise control and hope to get it fixed again soon...

i use to use my cruise before i got a smarty. its to aggravating now.
i rather have my smarty over cruise[duhhh].

I find it easier to use the cruise on most roads, except for rural backroads. The Cummins likes to run away with me if I don't watch it pretty close:D

I use it on interstates, and big highways. Not in town.

Not in town, but most everywhere I can get away with it, it will be on.

I wedge my boot between the pedal and the tranny tunnel---does that count? [laugh]

I don't get much surging with SW #5 when I use the cruise. On SW #9 it's another story altogether. [eyecrazy] [eyecrazy] [eyecrazy]

Lately I have been cruising with SW #1 the fuel saver! [coffee]

i get it on SW#1,5,7,9. i just dont like seeing my pyro varying 100 degrees on flat ground and watching my rpm s going back and forth.
Still love my Smarty!

Since i am a paraplegic and my throttle and brake are hand operated, i use my cruise control as much as possible.

Any road that is paved and is not in town. I cannot think of any of my normal town driving which I could even use cruise for. Oh yeah, I also do not use it when roads are slick!

I usually use the cruise on the highways and interstate. Sometimes I don't use it when I am pulliing heavy loads.

Keeps me from getting tickets :D

NEVER USE CRUISE ON WET, SNOWY, ICEY, OR SLIPPERY ROADS!

The cruise will tell the motor to speed up when the tires break loose. Every year we have dozens of people killed here in Nebraska on I80 from that very same thing. DOT is thinking a bout requiring a device to shut the cruise off if it is raining or snowing. They had them on some vehicles, but they were unreliable.

Be careful out there!
