I found the correct adjustment through trial and error. It works, but I would prefer a CC. Like you say it slows going up hill and speeds up going down hill.

Anyway you can post a pic? Seeing that I also have an Aveo I am curious what your setup looks like. As a side note, is 47MPH your "sweet spot" for best mpg? I have knocked it down to 65 on the freeway with 50psi on the tires and am on the first full tank with both of those. Hoping to crack that 40 MPG barrier for the first time!
