OK, thanks. I stand corrected.

Reminds me a situation I once ran into. I bought a pickup truck and purposely got an inline 6 to get better fuel mileage. Worked great on flat land but once we hit the mountains, that efficiency went out the window. Replaced the inline 6 with a 350ci V8 and got better mileage overall.
