There's no reason you can't slow down a little going up the hill when you're just going to make up that time on the down side.
What a hard concept.  |
True, but irrelevant if your car doesn't have a tachometer -- which many don't.
The HCH's cruise control is
very sensitive to even the shallowest hills. So IMHO the CC should be saved for flat roads and/or long distances (keeping a foot on the gas pedal tires out the leg, which leads to excess driver fatigue).
