Paradise is over 6K feet up Mt Rainier.
Can you please repeat the test on the reverse anti-gravity path?

I actually hit 99.9 MPG before I got to the bottom of the park. There is no 100 on the scale.

I wish I would have tracked that but I stopped a bunch on the way up. I’m guessing it wasn’t very good.
If you take the average for both the paths, I suspect it will be around 24.5mpg
Having climbed Rainier 4 times, curious what your mileage would be if you continued from Paradise up to Camp Muir @ 10,000’ but I bet the Park Rangers wouldn’t be amused if you gave it a go! 
Would definitely be a great commercial for Toyota.
Beautiful picture … makes me homesick!

I too, have enjoyed 60+ MPG using this easy trick! Highly recommend for anyone struggling with low MPG.
I’ve gone from Seattle-ish up the top of Snoqualmie Pass (3000 ft) several times now. If I drive as slow as most of the tractor trailers I get 19 up and 24 down. I’m using unfriendly tires, but it generally sucks gas
Another cool trick i discovered in a parking garage today is that the rig will propel itself forward at zero engine rpm. I guess the hybrid was doing something. Ostensibly, if you just kept your foot off of the brake on flat grade, the truck would creep forward at 3-5 mph for forever 
I don’t know why anyone even bothers driving uphill or on flat ground. I do all my driving downhill and I’m getting great mileage!
