?? Am I the only one who thinks that cruise control is safer than just keeping your foot on the gas? IMO I think it's safer because I keep my foot hovered infront of the brake once cruise control is engaged.

I do when there are no cars a good distance in front of me. Actually, keeping hovered may not be as good as you think, since by experience you may be used to shifting your foot to the left to slam on your brakes... if you'll be slamming the floorboard. Reminds me of that left-handed parachute jumper who died after being given a right-handed chute on a jump.

You, sir, should not be driving a vehicle if you're concerned about that.
Because your foot is slightly resting on the brake??? And if you can feel the brake, why would you move your foot any further to the left?Originally posted by: xUCIxDaiSHi

I'm just saying, old behavior may kick in in an emergency situation. Why take chances?![]()

Sometimes you can actually get better fuel economy at higher speeds.

I use it on highways with light traffic. No point in heavy traffic or on secondary roads.
