When I first started this thread, I was thinking only about level ground, no stops.
I always cut the engine for downhills or coming to stops.
I find on many hills I actually gain speed when coasting down, so then I just wait to drop down to my set speed on the way back up, then hold that speed to the next crest.
I suspect there are gonna be a lot of factors (specific vehicle weight and aerodynamics, steepness of hill, traffic flow) that will prevent any one method from being ideal.
