Yeah, this stretch is pretty good because few people drive it. I need to be cognizant of bicyclists and joggers, but otherwise, the road is pretty clear. If I'm being followed by someone who looks like they want to play Gran Turismo, I just wave them by. Otherwise, once I start down the grade, I can pretty much preserve my speed at around the posted limit without touching the gas. My real-time fuel meter lists my mpg at infinite, so it really is like turning a 15-mile commute into a 13-miler.
