Using a Scanguage ScanGaugeII - Trip Computers + Digital Gauges + Scan Tool you can visually tune your driving for better fuel economy (I get an extra 15-20% when I pay attention) and in my experience do even better than with cruise control. I've done a few tests running miles with cruise control -v- running the foot control for best economy watching my scanguage.

Might even sell my original model and upgrade to the newer. Had it for 5 years and it has paid for itself many times over.
