What gear should you go up a hill?

Uphill: Approach uphill situations with an appropriate amount of momentum, a higher gear (3rd in an automatic transmission) and less throttle to reduce torque, which also reduces wheel spin. The last thing you want to do is get halfway up the hill, lose traction and begin to spin your wheels.

What is the gear ratio of a car?

So, calling R the “gear ratio”, your final answer is: V (mph) = D (in) ´ F (rpm) ´ (π/1056) / R. or, approximately: V = (D ´ F) / (336 ´ R) where V is the velocity (in mph), D the tire diameter (in inches), F the engine rpm, and R the gear ratio.
