This is a question Driven to Madness

Captain Placid asks: What annoying things do significant others, workmates and other people in general do that drive you up the wall? Do you want to kill your other half over their obsessive fridge magnet collection? Driven to distraction over your manager's continued use of Comic Sans (The Font of Champions)? Tell us.

You realise that if you had the vaguest idea how to drive
you could get better fuel efficiency and drive faster? Cruise control is excellent for being lazy or driving half-way across the US on a freeway. It's more or less redundant in the UK and it's a stupid and ineffective way of trying to save fuel.

The UK goes up and down a lot.
Cruise control does not understand that. Therefore it wastes large amounts of fuel trying to maintain pace up hills whilst completely failing to take advantage of the downhills.

I personally don't give a flying shite how much fuel anyone uses but claiming you use cruise to improve your fuel economy is an indication of having no idea how the whole thing works.
