If you really want to save fuel then use the cruise control all the time. If you don’t use it now you’ll get 10-15% increase in mpg.
Let me jump in on this point... I drive a 16 Explorer and have a 13 mile one way commute to work which is about 60 % interstate type of driving... I can easily maintain 22.3 MPG overall... when relying heavily on cruise control verses about 20.5 mpg when driving without it...

Yep. The only thing that will make it better is if everyone was using cruise control. It sucks when you get that person that cuts in front of you and you have to brake. Driverless cars cannot get here quick enough.
It will be crazy when Driverless cars get here and we immediately need 10-15% less fuel for cars.
