Hi,

I find that when grinding up big hills, I need to push the gas pedal down
more (obviously).

There is almost always a point where more pedal makes no more noticeable
difference in acceleration, or additional engine grunting noises.

HERE IS THE QUESTION:
Do I use more gas by just flooring it? Should I tickle the gas until I find
that sweet spot?

I haven't had much chance to test the mileage with both techniques, and
can't visualize how the fuel is metered depending on load, RPM, and throttle
position.

Thanks,
