An efficient driver will bleed off speed on the way up (depending on circumstances/traffic), and regain it on the other side.

That's why one of our memmbers developed a "load sensitive" cruise control with MPG programming logic: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ogic-2031.html
Tried Cruise control last night and my AVG MPG dropped to 37MPG,i'll stick with driving with my foot lol,i can maintain a solid 40 by just adjusting my throttle input depending on the traffic conditions.i was thinking of doing grill block,do you know anyone on this forums that has done it for their camry?
