Obviously, you have never driven in Colorado. Both I-25 and I-70 have stretches that go over passes or up steep grades where the posted speed limit is anywhere from 55mph to 75mph. There is one very long, steep grade on I-25 between the towns of Pueblo and Walsenberg where I have learned its pointless to try to keep the cruise control on. It turns itself off everytime, and I don't think it does this because its defective. My car has a manual transmission, if that makes any diff.
