I use to use it a lot, but have started using it less except on really flat terrain. Cruise is reactive meaning it does not respond until it sees speed drop 2/3 mph below set point when starting up a hill. Then it had to accelerate harder and likely drop down a gear and rev up rpms to regain set point speed. Then when topping the hill it will overshoot set point a little before shifting back to higher gear and dropping the rpms.

By using the pedal I am proactive. When approaching a hill I will accelerate slightly to hold speed going into the hill and most of the time keep it in the higher gear and lower rpms. And when approaching the top of the hill I will begin letting off the throttle and avoid the speed increase when hitting the crest. I have found by doing that I get better fuel mileage than letting the CC do it for me. I pretty much only use cruise to occasionally rest my foot.
