Does Cruise Control Consume More Fuel?
1 Answers
Cruise control does not consume more fuel. If driving on a straight highway without frequent deceleration, activating cruise control allows the vehicle's fuel injection and throttle opening to be managed by the onboard computer. This results in more uniform fuel injection and speed, reducing unnecessary speed variations and thereby improving fuel efficiency. Cruise control, also known as speed control or autonomous driving system, enables drivers to avoid manually operating the accelerator pedal during long highway drives, reducing fatigue and unnecessary speed changes, which helps save fuel.
