My hill is a pretty gentle slope near the end of my commute to work. I've been hoping that the time I spend climbing the hill I'll get some fuel savings on the way home since it's downhill and I spend most of my time coasting on the way back home in the evening.

My highway stretch is about 4 miles and I'd usually run about 60-65mph maxium on that stretch.

I'll see how well it does now that it's getting warmer. Thanks for the tips.
