Its probably best to climb the hill in the highest bear possible. When accelerating in my car (stick shift) I cant get it to go under 29 mpg lugging in fifth gear, and is usually over 30 mpg when floored, but in 4th it's only 22 mpg. I don't know how automatics down shift nowdays, but there use to be a vacuum modulator and a throttle linkage that could be adjusted in the olden days.
