Do you use your Titan's cruise control?

I've had my CC LE Titan since early August and have put almost 2.5K miles on it already. I'm still getting used to all the little features my truck has, but one thing I'm really using is the cruise control feature. My wife's Accord has cruise control but I never used it. Now I use it all the time. Here's why:

1. I find that it really helps fuel efficiency on long drives to set the cruise at a moderate speed and let it do its magic.

2. It provides a little electronic sanity to me wanting to gun the engine and feel it push me back in my seat all the time.

3. It reminds me of how much I like that throaty roar when accelerating onto the freeway.

Anybody else use their cruise control a lot or just a little? Why?

I use my cruise control too much....

my pathfinder didn't have it, my integra doesn't have it....

as a matter of fact, I've owned 6 cars in my life and the only one other than the Titan to have cruise was my 1987 pontiac 6000 station wagon!

when we drove to south carolina in july, i think i drove the entire way using only cruise control to vary my speed!!!

I work on a navy base and the speed limit is strictly 25mph everywhere, I didn't think the cruise control would work that low but it does.

i use it often because i think it's fun and it helps me limit my speed so i don't get in trouble with all 305 horses.

I use mine every day. I've got a ~ 30 mi freeway drive to work. (one way). Its the only thing that really keeps me from gunning it all the time. Pull it to 80, set cruise - and try not to fall asleep! ^^ Vnt- Dont feel bad. I hit 7200mi thursday and I bought mine July 3rd.

Oh, yeah

I have 40,000 on my Titan in 14 months, most of it Highway miles. I set it for 5 over and so far no tickets. I couldn't live without it.

I use mine to keep me in check on speed. Often, I find myself driving faster than everyone else when I do not use the cruise.
