hrmm... uphill my cruise (when it was working) would start vtec sooner... maybe I should go to 90 on the freeway, save those settings with my cruise control then in town if someone wants to drag maybe I'll win since vtec at least feels like it kicks in sooner.

I use it most of the time on freeway. On flat region is ok, and get better MPG but on hills no. For hills better go by constant "load" not constant speed.

I hate when people dont use it on 2 lane highways that dont have turn outs for 20 mile stretches. the land is perfectly flat yet 1 minute the c*nt in fron of you is going 65 the next minute they are going 50.

i can keep good speed within a few mph without cruise. Its all about who pays attention while driving (i know most don't).

I hate this!!!^ If u suck too much at driving that your speed changes between 60 and 75 and you dont realize it, then you my friend need to use your crusie control. People will pass me when I'm going 65 and then 2 miles down the road i'm passing them with my cruise on going the same speed and they will b doing 62 and when they see me they will speed up thinking im playing some game with them...... they dont even look at what speed their goin most of the time

I do use cruise control, so I can be more relaxed and pay much more attention to the trafic then watching the spedometer and the higway patrols. I obey the highh speed limits 99.9% and even lover the spedd belowe that in certain situations, specialy the lower speed limits 25-35 MPH (obey 100%).

Rep Power: 0 Damn all these guys who only use it if the trip is like an hour or 100 miles. I use mine every weekend since i drive like 28 miles to see my girlfriend. I just set it to about 80 and i'm there in no time.

Rep Power: 240 i think he means that his cruise control button was originally on his steering wheel, and since he replaced it with a sparco steering wheel, he can't use it anymore.

Rep Power: 0 ya but you will have to see the wheel im talking about....it just wouldnt look good. I know i could have mounted it elsewhere but the thing about that is......i didnt want to waste another 5 mins after installing my steering wheel, headers, front upper strut bar, and sparco pedals. I was in one of those im ready to drive now moods! And thanks Yoshie!

Rep Power: 240 i have a cruise control.... control... under the air vent on the left hand side of the dash, and another control unit on the steering wheel. is that a feature of the ex or did the previous owner have plans for a new steering wheel?

Rep Power: 293 No way in hell I was going to drive all the way to Canada without cruise, that sounds like hell to me, lol.
I only use it when there is barely any traffic, on the interstate during long trips. So basically, 90% of the time, its NOT used.
If you are using cruise and are driving close to someone, and you rear end them, YOU SUCK AT DRIVING!
