This. I lose a good 5%-10% of my fuel economy on my 6.5 drive home from work due to a hill at the beginning of my road (2nd gear up to 30, then EOC to my driveway). Plus another 1 MPG up the hill into my driveway.

55-60 MPH target, anything over 60 MPH is only if 150+ MPG is sustainable, anything over 70 MPG is EOC. 50 MPH up steeper hills when safe, and 35-45 MPH up long, steep mountain grades behind semi trucks. DWL always, no P&G.
