And Ive tried different ways of going up the hill. (Speed/RPM wise)
Sadly though the speed is only 25mph but most people go 40-ish.
(its not worth the $100+ ticket however)

Cool youre running the marathon. Not the first time I take it?
I lowered the LP holder by rotating 180 degrees, then notching using a pair of avaition tin snips. Also had to use longer bolts.

I have run 6 marathons so far this year.

If your top speed is 25 I can tell you that the HCH does not get great FE in that range. Seems the sweat spot is around 60 - 65 mph for me.

The IMA has about 8 modes that it goes through from stopped to cruising speed. So it may be your in a mode that is not as FE.

Really looking forward to the warm temps on Kona since I shoveled 5" of snow today!


Cheers!
