240d

hey guys,
im looking at buying a 240D for a commuter. The problem is i live in an area with lots of hills and my commute from town to home is about 6 miles all up hill. When properly maintained, are the NA 2.4s good at holding the speed limit up a grade? I know they are lighter cars as well but i am aware that i wont be passing up hill like i do in my Turbocharged 300SD. I have been getting about 25 MPG which is really good for the area i live in, but if a 240 will do a lot better i might take that route. Thanks!
