Wait, 8% is not steep lol...(I drive through ridiculous SF streets everyday where I have to climb several hundred feet within 2 blocks)

Going uphill is a great chance to use your engine at high load aka high efficiency. Know when open loop enrichment kicks in and give it enough throttle to be just below that point, there's no way around burning a lot of fuel up the hill. When you go downhill you won't be burning gas.
