Hardly any part of my regular driving area is flat- almost everywhere has some type of mild or moderate slopes. I live in the hills of east Tn.

So I have to be careful with p&g and pick and choose where I do it.

One thing I have noticed is my escort glided much further than the metro. The six hundred pound weight difference is the reason I'm sure. Escort is 2200# and geo is 1600#.

Geo doesn't have much low end power but the steep gearing makes up for it.
