Coast. Nearly every time I break that rule I end up slamming into the red. Each time I swear I'll never do that again.

I have one of these on my route home, in the middle of the worst uphill. I hate it. I usually hold steady speed ~30 mph in 5th gear until the "commit" point - either eoc and stop or give more gas and go. At 30 mph uphill, the commit point is very close to the light.
