[QUOTE="TheBeiters, post: 31594, member: 12311"] I found that if I go to 62mph with cruise on (the old school style, not the adaptive), it will shift into 8th. I can then walk it up using the cruise button 1mph at a time and it will stay in 8th even on most minor hills (I75 south from Mackinaw has some minor hills). Keeps the RPMs sub 2k and I was getting 30mpg. So yeah, it’s not the computer saying it’s the best gear for fuel economy, it obviously will stay in 8th. It’s the entry conditions that are a mess. GM screwed the pooch on this one in my opinion and should rectify it. [/QUOTE]
