Power up the hill, but cut power at the right time to crest the hill at a relatively slow speed. Engine off coast until your speed reaches your slowest desirable speed in the highest gear. Bump start and accelerate up hill if possible, or run at economical cruising speed to the next hill. You could also eoc pulse and glide to the next hill. Always try to crest the hills at a relatively slow speed, especially if you don't know what is on the other side of the hill (a stop sign at the bottom?).
