[QUOTE="The Necessary, post: 126348, member: 302"] I think there are 2 types of cruise control, or at least 2 types I can think of (correct me if I'm wrong); one that maintains engine revs, and one that maintains road speed. If it's the former system, I don't think the "flying" aquaplaning car scenario will occur- after all, wheel spin = spike in engine revs = less fueling to maintain lower rpms. If it's the latter system, then yes, it's possible. Aquaplaning = loss of speed = more fuel to increase speed = more aquaplaning due to more wheel spin, and so on and so forth. The system on my Scooby is the first one, so I think I'm safe in the rain. Seems like another "urban" myth to me, as if it is such a danger, I'm sure car manufacturers will be legislated to warn the drivers of their cars in Europe and America. [/QUOTE]
