It depends on the load -- low up slopes work great in 5th with light throttle, but I think that it may be the throttle position that matters? On steeper hills, then lower gears for shorter times works better, in my experience.

Have you had the ScanGauge II long enough to calibrate it? Say, 3 or 5 tankfuls, at least?
