Yeah, usually my highway trips are through Vermont and there are some steep grades on those highways. Steep enough that I need to shift from 5th to 4th and I get around 18-19.

Yeah, I grew up in the Hudson Valley, only about an hour north of NYC and it was always considered "upstate NY". I always considered upstate anything north of Albany...
