Not true. I use my cruise every day, as often as possible. Even on a 40 mph road. So long as traffic gives me enough room and it's not stop and go I use my cruise constantly, and engage it as soon as I hit highway speed.

My parents have only owned cars with A/C going back to the 60s, when it was a $400.00 option. I've never known a car without it, and would never even consider owning one without it. It's 2016. You do not gain power or performance without the A/C system because it weighs so much less than one did 40 years ago, and it uses maybe 2 hp when engaged. Probably not even that. It ain't the 30 pound Fridgidaire compressor that bogged the engine down when it ran like it was in the 60s man. They're light weight and efficient now.
Same thing for power seats. The motors are small and made out of lightweight aluminum now. The seat tracks are all aluminum and polystyrene. Again, it's 2016. Power seats add very little weight. It's not the 1960s where electric motors were the size of a Mack truck and weighed as much.
