constant fluctuations in RPM is bad for your gas milage and cruise control minimizes this by gradually upping the power to hit the specified speed. Even on hills it should save gas compared to without it cause you'll end up pushing it too hard then having to cruise and cycle back and forth.

On the open road, cruising anywhere above 40-45 mph, it certainly saves. It maintains a much steadier throttle position and doesn't try to speed up to keep in front of someone else. it just cruises.

Cruise control saves gas because it controls the amount of gas more evenly than you can by foot control.

Both actually. When it is on flat ground, it will save because it keeps the engine from going up and down in RPMs. But when it's hilly, the car will try to power up the hills to stay at the set speed and you'll burn fuel. So use it when it's flat, not hilly.
