I think it depends. For many drivers, holding a steady throttle input can be tricky. In those cases, I think cruise control would save them fuel on the interstate. This assumes flat ground. On the mountain passes, I think you’re absolutely right; you save fuel by varying your speed with the terrain.

While going up hills, it uses excess gas to keep the set speed. If you ease up on the gas and allow your vehicle to slow down some going up hill and then accelerate on the down hill side when it takes less gas to speed up, you will use far less gas. I drove a Ram (average mpg: 18) 500 miles using this technique and got a whopping 26 mpg.
