3 Take Advantage of Cruise Control Without It Taking Advantage of You

-

Cruise control can help you save money on gas by maintainin­g a constant speed. But avoid using the feature while navigating hills or mountainou­s inclines, as it sends your engine into overdrive and causes your vehicle to burn fuel faster. Conserve gas on hilly highways by allowing your speed to slightly decrease as you go up and slowly increase as you go down, as nature intended. After all, it’s not called climb control.
