On my trip to work, I have one ( small-3/4 mile distance ) hill that slows me down. I would shift into neutral ( yes it is an auto ) and coast from 55 at the top of the hill and shift back into 'D' right as I hit the bottom of the hill.
As I drove up the hill, I could hear the engine struggling.
I found that shifting into 'D' and giving the car gas around 100 ft. before the bottom of the hill allowed the engine to struggle less up the hill, despite the speeds being the same at the bottom of the hill.
I don't know if that helps at all.
