A computer-assisted method for controlling the delivery of fuel to an engine. The method includes receiving an input signal indicative of a sensed speed of the engine, validating that the engine is in a cruise power mode based on the input signal, and providing an output signal based on a sensed engine operating condition for adaptively controlling the fuel delivery to the engine when the engine is operating in the cruise power mode. Also, a fuel control module. The fuel control module includes a first portion configured for receiving an input signal indicative of a sensed speed of an engine, a second portion configured for validating that the engine is operating in a cruise power mode based on the input signal, and a third portion configured for providing an output signal based on a sensed engine operating condition for controlling fuel delivery to the engine when the engine is operating in the cruise power mode.
