I don't think it is so bad.
So you just get 13 mpg uphill, but infinite mpg down, and you warm up the engine to boot.
The whole stretch up and down combined gives you 26 mpg overall.
Considering the weight of your car and the cold start, that is quite good actually.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
