Like the other poster suggested change your display to show mileage and you will know right away if there is a problem.

As an example, if I am cruising at 120 km/h my mileage is around 7l/100km assuming I'm not passing or going up a hill. However, when I am stuck in a traffic jam averaging 5km/h and barely getting out of first gear I get 13l/100km or worse.

I don't have cruise control on my toyota 86 FT. BUt I do understand your principle, take it to a cruising speed value.. and keep it like that.
