I did not activate it once set at this speed but it is an interesting idea!
Also interesting is to think who in their right mind would be driving at 150 with the cruise control in the first place!
Like I said, useless trivia.

Actually since mostly 2 lane and hills from southern nevada to elko 100 to 115 mpg, average over 100, and about 19 - 20 mpg. Confirmed also speed limiter is set at 135 that trip, just briefly. Now have 85000 miles on it, love to drive it fast.
