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, Dan Brideau 1985 Westfalia
