Default What I learned about my Crossfire on the trip to CAA/RM

While driving thru the Rockies, we experienced many grades of steepness on the roads. From 1% to 7%, On the 1% to 2% grades I used the cruise control (when traffic permitted), and found that if I was at a set speed (say 45mph), the automatic transmision would down shift automatically, when my speed would increase more then 4 to 5 mph on a downgrade. It attempted to slow me down as needed back to my preset 45 mph. I think it would have gone down all the way to 1st gear, if needed. Pretty cool ........

Hard to get good gas mileage when you are flying around a 370z at 150+
