In my car, mpg (according to my scangauge) is very similar in 5th verses 4th up a hill, until throttle position is not too high, my car has torque, so unless throttle position is an issue, I stay in the high gear. This is also more efficient up hill because shifting reduces speed, and burns more fuel.
