Use Cruise Control on Highways to Save 7-14%
The Problem
Your foot on the pedal fluctuates 60-70-65-72 mph. Each acceleration burns extra fuel.
The Hack
On highways, set cruise control to the speed limit. Speed stays locked instead of naturally drifting.
Why It Works
Speed fluctuations require repeated acceleration, each consuming extra fuel. Cruise control maintains exact speed with minimal throttle adjustments — saving 7-14% on highway fuel.
Pro Tips
- Most effective on flat highways
- Disable in heavy traffic or rain for safety
- Speed limit is also the most efficient speed
- 55-60 mph is the sweet spot for fuel economy — 70+ drops MPG sharply
