    I own a 2002 S80. Enjoy it beyond description. My question is this. If I
    drive it with the cruise control in every situation that I can, will I be
    able to extend the life of my S80? When my wife drives, she constantly is
    accelerating and decelerating which I think causes more wear and tear on the
    transmission and engine. Am I wrong or just anal retentive?

    In comparison to what should be the life of the S80 - whilst the less
    stress on the engine the better - I would suggest that you are being a
    bit anal.

    Sorry

    I am assuming that she isn't driving using a binary throttle.

    heheheh - from what i've read on this NG, you'd be better using the engine
    and be sparing on the electronics. (tongue in cheek) Just enjoy the car. :)
