Often times there is a decline on the other side, sometimes there's not.
Guess I'll just have to pull the hills, squint & bear it.

BTW
Tried xcel's tips.
Last night had great results, back up to 58 point something MPG in a pouring rainstorm.
This afternoon I broke my all time record and achieved 63.4 MPG over 45 miles.
This was with a strong head/cross wind as another storm is coming in!

I guess I really shouldn't complain about hills and such but each drive is a new challenge. Gotta try for better next time!
