That's interesting. I have often thought that a 6-speed manual transmission (with a steep overdrive) wouldn't do any good in a Mirage because it wouldn't be able to pull the car up a grade at freeway speeds in 6th gear only turning something like 2200 RPMs. I wondered if they could engineer a way to disconnect the cruise under such conditions. Now I know they already have.
I turn the AC off when doing any acceleration or climbing any sort of grade. This little engine needs too much fuel to multi-task like that.
