In hilly terrain I would agree but the system in the later Subaru's is very good and considerably better than most on flat ground. I would be surprised if you would do better than the cruise in the STi on a trip to Margs.

Also the temptation to cruise just a tiny bit over the limit is easier to avoid when using the cruise and can save you considerably more than a couple of bucks of fuel.
