I could swear the HCH has one, too. Keeping my foot absolutely still, I swear the car will kick in a little assist and/or increase RPMs if a hill I am going up suddenly gets steeper. I have trained myself pretty thoroughly to drive with the load, so I'm keeping my right foot absolutely still up most of these hills. I realize this is a HAH forum, but have any other HCH pilots noticed this phenomenon? Am I making this up?
