I've read in articles that the cruise control cannot be engaged above 90 mph, but I haven't checked.
The highest I've set my cruise control is 83 mph.

Gosh, what braggadocios speeders we have on this thread.
I often set mine at 25mph since I must go thru several school zones depending upon which direction I take to get out of the neighborhood and I KNOW the area is being monitored at the beginning of school year. I bet no one can get lower than that! |

I've been able to set mine to 93 if I remember correctly. It could have been 90. I was just playing around with it and just curious. I could hold the toggle up and the car would accellerate past 93 but once I let go of the toggle it would settle right back down to 93.

6th gear at 35 mph is my favorite, thing shows ~50 mpg on the instant gauge although it sounds like a diesel truck. |

Well, I think we're all in agreement? The counting shall be 93. No more, no less. 95 is right out!

I think it's funny that our cars won't allow cruise to be set past 90 MPH whereas the Chrysler 300C SRT-8's computers will allow you to set cruise at 170. A couple of their engineers took one out on the Autobahn and realized you couldn't, so they conjured up a voluntary recall that involved "transmission recalibration" just so the owners could set cruise to 170 if need be.
That's what I hear anyway. Insane. |

On my Outback, I discovered the 90mph limitation on I-15 in Utah, which has an 80mph limit. 90 really isn't outrageous there. Even here in CO, interstates run at 80 or more frequently, with a 75mph limit. |

I usually set mine at 75-80 when on the highway.
