Hill 
What is this
Hill you speak of?
The elevation varies less than 6 feet between my house and work (25 miles away) with only 1 small town in between. My driving is typically about 95% highway/back road travel (55mph). My mileage is upper 40's to lower 50's in the summer, lower 40's in the winter per tankful. I do not use pulse driving techniques because I feel the risk of being rear ended by inattentive drivers outweighs the fuel savings.
I do not have any instrumentation other than what the factory supplied, so my observations are primarily seat of the pants (wallet).
Ironically, my best tankfuls
ever was when I was working nights in a city 50 miles away for a few weeks. Half my driving was at 55, the rest at 65, temp in the 70's. The dash display said I was averaging 55mpg, but when I filled the tank it worked out to 56 mpg on 2 consecutive tanks.
