    I was wondering if i didn't live on a hill if i would get better MPG.

    I have 15 minutes drive to work and in the morning the first 5 minutes is all downhill. In the winter the engine works all the way down.

    Then when i go back to work i start flat for 2 minutes and then it a little hilly then i get to the 5 minutes hill.

    I would think if i had this reverse it would make things so much better....

    I still get 45 winter and 48-52 summer. which i think is pretty good.

    I think i'm the perfect candidate for a EV switch ... but i really don't want to tap into a wire.

    Great Post??

    Other than on a hill, we don't know where you live (no location in your Profile) and while we suspect you're driving a Prius, we don't know what year/package it is (no information in your Signature).

    What kind of response are you expecting?
