The only good side of going uphill in the morning is that it speeds up engine warming time. When we go hiking in the mountains, then on our way back we start with a loooong downhill with a cold engine (no access to electricity for the engine prewarmer) - it can take 20-25km before it gets to operating temp, when it is -20C outside - even longer. And during this time my passengers are demanding I turn on the cabin heat
