Just to clarify, you guys are saying that ALL hills are best climbed at 80% load? Is there a cut off where it's better to keep low load vs increasing load to 80%? For instance, let's say I set the cruise control and it's able to maintain the set speed up a hill and only gets up to 40% load; is it better to increase load, or just hang out at 40?

Thanks,
Don't watch load, watch either A:F, or closed loop vs open loop.
