Try Cruise control. You don't need to even put your foot on the gas.

Cruise control is ok, but let get this in prospective, if your using it are you realy paying attintion as a driver or are you along for the ride.
Cruise control, is ok for long trips but berfing around town on the local interstate your should be useing some advance skill verse a cruch which that is what Cruise control becomes when you miss use it.
try this instead, watch the expansion joints in the highway, this can be used two was.
the frist would to be to set or pace, of example 55 the joint lines will have a diffent rythem to them then they do at 65. pay attention to the rythem of the hightway.
maintaining follow distance also can be set by the joint marks lines in the high way, when the car ahead of you passes over it this is when you mentaly count 1 missippi 2......and don't forget the missippi and give that car ahead of you 4 to 5 count and maintaine that.
the hightway joints and the lines all can be used as a tool to make you a safer driver, paceing all the traffic for your just 1 mph less than the rest ,but still maintaining your safe speed will make you a better driver, Cruise control does not have this ability to maintaine safe following distances in margenal to heavy traffic, to this day the only true safy operating device is the operator of the car/truck and how well their skills are in operating the vechale
odds are some one will conterdic me with this but I have driven over a million miles and I have been through some of the best safty courses in the country.
Here is what was said to me about Cruise controls one time, it is an electrical device that may fail, what would you use if it had a malfuction?

Years ago in a Plymouth, the salesman taught me to drive the car to the speed I want - then gently come up on the gas pedal, and then depress it slightly to maintain the speed I want it to be at.
This has worked with every car I have driven since - from Mitsubishi to BMWs...

u can try to take your foot between the gas pedal and the carpet or plastic if they are near and u will take your foot in the same level

adjust your seat to allow your foot to rest just so on the gas pedal - - too far forward and you go too fast. too far back and you go too slow.
cruise control only works on the highway.
