I regularly drive a route of about 60 miles with a net elevation change of 800 feet. My trip average mileage is about 5 MPG higher downhill than uphill.
This thread is a discussion on driving uphill: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ear-23957.html
Bottom line is that it takes a lot of fuel to climb 750 feet.
