It doesn't matter for my tests, since I used the same stretch of road going the same direction, on the same day. And while we know the engine load will be higher, and pulse times will be longer on an incline (and load will be lower/pulse times shorter on a decline), there's no reason to expect the relative fuel consumption at each load to differ.

Yes, fastegg. I think it's ground breaking, too. I guess it's too technical, or too much work, or too expensive. I'm somewhat disappointed in the lack of interest/lack of comments returned on such breakthrough knowledge.
