you should do a test:

go on the highway or something and drive normally, time how long it takes to use 1/4 of a tank, then go back to where you started and use cruise, it might be expensive but no pain no gain

Wrong. Lower gear = higher RPMs and more gas consumption. You're actually using more gas. It is, however, easier on your brakes. Right now gas > brakes.
Ah, brakes was probably what I was thinking of. Thanks for saving me some frustration...

When you use CC it will not raise or lower RPMs unless going uphill. It would save gas in the long run unless you are going up a very big hill.
