I dunno if it would be better to have this in a different thread, but I have a question about going 55. There are some places where there are some pretty large hills (nothing crazy steep but there are some pretty steep hills, like on the other side I accelerate from 60 to 75 in neutral). I'd probably have to downshift into 4th, right? How should I negotiate these hills with lower speed to be most efficient? Some of them are so long that DWL wouldn't really work, as the slowdown would have to be very subtle to go from say 55 to 50 across the whole entire long hill...you know?
