Likely, an expressway is the only place one could use cruise control. The minimum speed to use cruise control is at least 45 mph and many roads don't allow that speed.

Is it true or false that using cruise control is not fuel efficient when driving on hills?
When you use cruise control it does all it can to keep you going at the speed you set it at. That means if you are going up a steep hill it will hit the gas to try to maintain your speed. When going up hills if you slow down just a few miles an hour you can save more fuel. Hard acceleration greatly reduces your fuel mileage. Many cruise controls will accelerate very hard when your car slows down.
