Who uses it? I'm on my way to Charlotte as I type this and I just realized in my 6 short years of driving, in any car, I don't ever use cruise control.

The longest I have ever drove was 7 hours.

Do you guys use it?

Never use it, I always feel out of touch with any vehicle if my feet are not on the pedals. To be truthful I don't even know if my cruise works on the jeep, and if it didn't I don't think I would be very upset anyways.

I never use cruise. I don't like it for the same reason as Mr. Luvr 6.1

I use it every day, and could not imagine owning a vehicle without it.

I used it mostly for amusement and sometimes to exercise the right foot. I found that it oddly, seemingly engages the brakes when using it at low speeds. Try going down a hill at 25mph with it on, it does very well on 6% down grades.

I also noticed that if I have it on it helps prevent DAPL (Driver Accelerator Pedal Leakage) :p

I use it to avoid speeding tickets. At least when I get pulled over and they ask, "do you know how fast you were going", I can say...YUP.

I use it every day. Especialy around our town, where they give tickets for 36 in a 30 zone. I set it at five over in town. Also use it regularly on the highway, same reason. Maybe 10 over. I still go faster if I have a rabbit in front and its clear behind. Also use a Valentine 1 all the time. And on long trips I carry a CB--invaluable for knowing where the cops are, rolling or stationary. I have not had a traffic conviction since 1978. --Bob
