Suggestions. limit acceleration to a certain point of low vacuum. Increase the systems propensity to downshift to limit downhill speed to a certain point above the set amount, as well as downshifting to maintain a certain lower than set speed uphill, in order to keep vacuum from dropping completely to zero.

On my Insight I have found that it is possible to very gradually increase speed without a significant decrease in fuel mileage. It is also possible to maintain speed on very slight uphill grades without a significant effect on fuel mileage.

It would probably require some kind of grade percentage detection for the cruise to become more anticipatory instead of reactive as they are now.
