I sincerely hope that this many people don't think North is uphill and South is downhill.

Are we really talking elevation here or just North/South?
sometimes when I'm driving West, traffic is backed up headed East, but not on the side headed West. Weird.

If you go 100mph you’ll burn less gas on that downhill trip as well
