Abstract

A method for an economical cruise control and an economical cruise control which demands from a vehicle engine system a reference speed vref, which may differ from a chosen set speed vset. Adjustment of at least the set speed vset is allowed when the reference speed vref differs from the set speed vset. The adjustment is based at least partly on input from a user of the economical cruise control. A user of the economical cruise control is thus provided with an increased feeling of control over the vehicle's speed.
