Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to techniques for improving fuel efficiency of a vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine capable of operating at various displacement levels. An autonomous driving unit or cruise controller selects when possible an engine torque output that corresponds to a fuel efficient displacement level. The resultant vehicle speed profile and NVH level is acceptable to vehicle occupants.

Claim (Index 2):
An engine controller as recited in  claim 1  wherein the autonomous driving unit considers the collective fuel economy of a plurality of vehicles in a platoon when determining an operational effective displacement.
