I think heading south always feels like downhill.

If you think that was cool I just did my best short trip ever mostly uphill in the Worcester Hills driving US 20 east from Chicopee to Marlborough! I later went up and down a big mountain in southern Vermont and now I am averaging around 60.5 after 365 miles on the same tank with 5 bars (1/2 tank) remaining on fuel guage.
