Cruise control saves driver fatigue as well. That also matters. Maintaining speed with your foot or cruise control is the same thing. Cruise control in my GTI here engages at all speeds. Clearly the Germans think otherwise on the issue and rightfully so.
Sounds like your brain has been turned off by your ego already without the cruise control. Simple fact of the matter is cruise control at high speeds removes control from the driver and places it in the hands of a computer.

I would assume Nissan wants no part of the liability involved in allowing cruise control to be set above 100.
