Engine Performance problem
2007 Buick Rendezvous 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

On a recent episode of the Today Show they were giving "gas saving tips" and one of them was: in stop and go traffic turn off your cruise control. Most of my friends and myself included leave our cruise controls "on" all the time. How does turning it "off" when not needed save gas and how much of a savings would be realized on the average car that gets, say 20 miles to the gallon on average? Most of us feel the gas savings would be minimal at best.
