ABSTRACT:
A new cruise control economizer for utilizing momentum gained on downhill travel which operates by selectively overriding a throttle on a vehicle with electronic throttle controls during and after the vehicle is traveling down an incline gaining momentum with minimum fuel consumption. The inventive device includes at least one POM (prolongation of momentum) switch, a microcontroller, a vehicle speed input, a brakes or clutch pressed input, and a vehicle setback throttle means to override cruise control output and send modified throttle setting signals that override electronic cruise controls.
