How do I maximize MPG? from miles per hour
I've been so very lucky to have this incredible teaching opportunity come my way...I'll be teaching the children who travel with the Carson and Barnes circus...shortly, I'll be leaving Texas for Wyomi...

Using cruise control is bad news for fuel economy because it will go full throttle up every over-pass, and then engine brake down the other side. I wished I could set the throttle to a window of variance to let the rig slow down some up hill and coast fast down hill.
I disagree, as I use my CC on hills and have found it to be more effective than the driver in selecting the best speed, transmission gear than most drivers. My MH coasts down hill and the Allison Transmission operates better that most drivers, IMO.
Maybe in your Class C, but in a DP that is not true. I can monitor the engine RPM going uphill and down hill and monitor gear,etc.
