Cruise only helps when you use it properly. Avoid hitting resume, because resume is usually fairly urgent. If you're in the mountains, don't use it either because it'll downshift earlier than needed and accelerate harder to maintain your preset speed.

However, if driving is fairly smooth and flat, cruise prevents you from using more throttle than needed.
