If it's the mountain I'm thinking it is a monster to get up. Coming down is really fun though very little gas was used. Also from the 405 S to the 101 is actually all downgrade if you experiment you can maintain a very high FE going between 65-71mph.
The car is really weird on the mountains going north on the mountain I babied the car and found if I'm willing to give up speed you can keep the car at 50mpg on the meter.
And with cruise control I agree I tried using it and got a better MPG just driving my style.
