I can't provide a reason but that just doesn't hold true with the hybrid.
I think it's because cruise does not use the battery level in it's calculations so doesn't know when to maintain speed up a hill because you've got charge and when to allow the speed to drop because you haven't. Obviously cruise never lets your speed drop which leads to the human driver winning but in possibly a slower over all drive time. Although I think because I let it roll up to 70 and fall as low as 45 whereas cruise would keep it at 57 in my case, the journey time is the same but I make 5mpg better than cruise.
