As I just drove an 80+ mile trip each way I noticed if I used my hill assist on climbs I suck less gas. I was also thinking I could tap into the system and do an alternator off on climbs in addition to the AC. If i could automate this id be even happier. Btw, I averaged 39mpg according to my onboard computer for the 160 mile trip driving through TX hill country.
