Thanked 9 Times in 8 Posts
When I drove a delivery truck , with light traffic & the hope the " Law " was not around , I would gain as much speed as possible in order to help make it up the next hill . But that was a much different situation . And I was not paying for the fuel .

With a car & light traffic , I let off of the accelerator to the point where I think there is no engine braking . Then increase accelerator pressure to make it up the other side .

Excessive speed only adds additional wind resistance , consuming additional fuel .

Happy thanksgiving to you all , :-)

God bless
