hahaha yea it wasn't really that long of a road probably like a minutes drive and not really that steep either. I just put the car in neutral and reset the mpg gauge and it starts off at 30mpg I was actually surprised at how much the hardtop effects the mpg. I'm getting a pretty solid 21mpg on regular freeway driving with the hardtop which is soo much better then the 17mpg I used to get with the soft top...

NICE! how long was that hill? i pop mine in neutral when coming down the other side of the mountains while on route to PA. going up is a different story. that reading would be more like 8.5mpg

although, the best i've ever seen my rubi get was 22.6mpg. it fluttered (went down by .2 going up hill, and went up .2 going down a hill) around that for the whole trip which was about 200+ miles. and i have witnesses!
