I do the same thing. Tap down one or two mph when I climb, and add one or two back going back down. If the hill is too steep, I cancel the cruise until I pass the hill because mine will actually downshift the trans when going downhill in order to maintain speed.
Oldertech, my grandpa did the same thing with his 79 diesel Rabbit. He got an aircraft throttle control and connected it to the injector pump throttle lever. This he could lock at a throttle position and would not have to worry about hills.
