If there is alot of traffic I use cruise control on the interstate...

If not then I'm speeding like everyone else! 40-60% of the time for me.

I used mine one time on interstate 75 heading north, on a nice spring day in Florida. I had the windows down, the sunroof open and wanted to enjoy the weather. So, I kicked on the cruise reclined my seat back like a pimp and rolled north. There was a slight wind out of the south and it seemed the cruise had a hard time keeping the car at exactly 70 mph. The wind would push me up to 72 or 73 at times.

Once in a while.

Only on long trips with no traffic. Otherwise, L.A. traffic is definately not cruise-control friendly...
