So, how well does the cruise hold the speed in hilly country? How much do the RPMs vary?

I only use the cruise when on the highways so I have one less thing to think about.

I'm not sure what type of hills you are talking about, but I like to crest hills at a slower speed than I would normally cruise at because I don't like to be surprised because the road turns at the crest of the hill or a car is pulling out of a drive just on the other side of the crest of the hill.
