I am seeing this first hand with my RAM. The aerodynamics are improved over OEM, but when I hit a hill the fuel flow climbs. If all my roads were flat, that'd be great!
One thing on keeping the load applied with the throttle; since I put a warm air intake on my truck I've noticed it won't hold as much load. It forces me to pay more attention when passing or climbing.
