Default Anyone use cruise control?

I've haven't used it yet. I haven't thought about using it, after over 4,000 miles and 3 1/2 months. The button is hidden away back there behind the windshield wiper arm.
Anyone use theirs on a regular basis?
Better yet, anyone use c/c above 6000 rpm's, etc?

My thinking is that the S is a driver's car and I will never use the cruise control. Although, I don't go on any long trips with it.

I have used it here and there on the spreeway, but i live in NW Ohio, some flat and strait roads around here, never crossed my mind with any "intown" driving.

If I've got any complaint with the way Honda lays out the controls for the driver, it's the placement of the on/off switch for the cruise control. It always seems to be placed on the dash in a location where it's not easily visible or accessible. In my case, I just leave the cruise control on all the time. If I want to use it, I just push the set button and otherwise don't have to worry about it.

FWIW,
Drive Safe,

I took a road trip this summer, I used it a lot then. Other than that, I never really use it.
