Yes, Elantra must be downshifted for hills & as much as 2 or 3 gears. Things can be done to hold higher mpg, often concerning those hills. Without knowledge, hills will take huge chunks of mpg away from drivers. Actually, the extra speeds (& speed) can be used as an ally to keep mpg up, but again, it takes fore-thought & knowledge.
Ah, Arizona is wonderful to travel in. Too bad the family was rushed not to enjoy travel, landscapes & viewing new territory.
