try what I said and try different speeds. you might not want to drop too low ect.

cant fight the earth, a hill is a hill. good mpg down bad mpg up. all we can do is try to make the up suck less.


using more fuel to gain momentum on the flat is good.
bleeding speed up hill is good but don't add any speed uphill. try to go 70mph+ at the bottom and decrease the speed so you are a minimum safe speed at the top. what is the speed limit anyways? do you have a mpg gauge? the TPS sensor is good for this technique. DWL
