Default Re: Inclined Driving- Your Gas Saving Methods

Yeah, on the way down (which is just as long as the way up of course) I have plenty of time to recharge the battery, basically the speed limit is 65 and I can coast down starting at 60 and get up all the way to 75 or so, but it has some dangerous curves that people like to slow down for, so they sometimes get in the way. I was just wondering how the rest of the folks here tackled them. I guess getting up faster is better. I did a not so scientific test of the hill and faster seemed to get me better mileage, but I need more research before I come to a decisive conclusion.
