Default Re: Power loss on a long upgrade?

I just got back from a great vacation in Colorado. I did the very long climbs up I70 west of Denver (and I25) that are killers. I'd probably gotten a automatic hybrid over a 5-speed if I lived in the mountains. While I learned to manage with my Insight, you have to be very careful up the killer I70 segment from I70 and I470 to Idaho Springs, CO.

In short, I'd be very happy driving a hybrid Camery on these mountain roads.
