Spidermandud,

just to be clear, comfort wise the cruise control is nice to have on a long drive to skiing or a vacation destination. (and worth the money to reduce the wear & tear on yourself)
But it did not improve Mpg over what I was able to do on my own for the same trips across state.

I figured that was what you meant, no worries. :).

@BEEF; popping it into neutral in a Yaris equipped with DFCO works worse for you if this thread is correct: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4248

@marcus; Throttle controller is your #1 eh? ANOTHER ONE TO TACK ONTO MY LIST OF THINGS I WANT!
