does your cruise have A.D.D.?
i swear my cruise suffers from some sort of mental deficency... say I set it at 70... it will vary from about 67-68 to like 72... if I start climbing a hill, the cruise waits till the speed really drops, then floors it... once I reach the top of the hill, it keeps giving it gas so my speed goes above 70...
on a flat road i'll be hangin right with the other cars, but then an uphill comes along and I fly past them...
I know smaller engines can have a hard time keeping a precise speed... but this is ridiculous... when I use the cruise it looks like im tryin to race everyone... one minute i'll be right next to someone, then on a hill i'll fly past them!
Anyone elses cruise act like this? is it just something I have to live with when I use it? ...i know, i know... someone's gonna say "dont use your cruise"... well, I said it for you!:fawk:

mine varies like that. mind you I travel alot through the appalachain mountains so we're talking about serious hills, here. (5% grade).
but it's no big deal for me. i set my CC at 9 miles over the posted speed limit. so i'm pretty much faster than all other traffic anyway. but i do have to keep an eye out for barny fife when coming over the hills.
