Well, here in Chicagoland, the one thing I do enjoy is how flat the land is. There are some hills, but they are typically gently rolling, and they are great for P&G and DWL

It's not so bad if you can stand the hot, humid summers (especially bad with no A/C in the car) and the -10* blizzards in the winter. The biggest challange to good mileage here is the super-aggressive drivers when you get closer to the city. I don't let them intimidate me, but they are pretty infamous for their 'style' of driving
