The problem is that other people drive around anxious not to break the speed limit and they drive at about 16 mph on their speedo which means they are actually doing about 14 so I have to keep braking. Every time I brake the cruise control falls out. It is not designed to be on-off-on and doing it wastes more fuel and the need to accelerate waste even more, so its costing me more money and damaging my car.
