That's what is great about the Vx transmission. ( hf transmission too) the final drive keeps the rpms so low if the hill is steep enough I can use dfco and gain speed without touching the throttle or using eoc. Or shifting to neutral. If the hill causes a decrease in speed I blip the throttle a little to get back up to speed and continue dfco.
It's all about averages and weighing them out. I could shift to neutral and go 5 miles at 20:1 afr. Or I could dfco 4 miles at 99.99 mpg and 1 mile accelerating at 14.7afr. Or eoc for 5 miles. Eoc obviously most effective but I'm wanting to prove hybrid mileage from this car without hybrid techniques (shutting engine off)or expensive battery packs. I'll save the eoc for my last goal
