Hey Guys, so I'm still on my first tank with my 2008 Prius and I'm noticing my town's landscape is not optimized for great fuel economy.

My commute to work every day is 8 miles both way. The way there is more down hill and the way home has a slight incline. I have two choices in routes to take. One is on the Freeway and the other is side streets. With the Prius's strength in city driving I'm wondering if taking the side streets will be more efficient. Although it is more hilly then taking the freeway which is a gradual decline incline.

Any advice in how to maximize my fuel economy in a hilly area is greatly appreciated.

I'm currently averaging 43MPG, so I'm really close to the EPA but I want to blow past that!
