question on how to approach getting to my home...

[Patrick]

So option 2 is twice the elevation change and 3 times the longitudinal distance? My money is on #1 being more efficient. By a lot.

Road 2 is 56.5% longer.
Even if you get a similar % better mileage when driving along road 2, you'd still only break even when you count total gas used ...


If you ever find a trick to beat road 1 , please tell us ASAP !

Experiment and see which is better

Maps, data and evoking too much information may seem impressive or important but, in the end:

There literally is no better way of determining the result.

lol, I can't, it's like picking which poison you want to die with...
just the usual, go up the hill "steady and don't push the engine too hard" or go as fast as possible... I used to do them both, I'd get the same mileage...

that was before though...
I think it has to be better now, but my mpgs dropped to hell in the second half of the tank...

only change I've done is a radiator cooling plate...

normally on a rolla...


radiator cooling plate...


but I really doubt that sent my mpgs to hell!
will take off the cooling plate...
