Does cruise control save you fuel?

With many South Africans getting ready to hit the road to holiday destinations around the country it is important to bear in mind that certain technologies designed to make the lives of drivers easier, could actually cause motorists to use more fuel.

If there are lots of hills and slow downs then it will be pointless.
