I power up the hills keeping the engine in high gear if possible aiming to just match the speed limit at the top. Then I coast down the hills in neutral as far as it can take me to the minimum speed I can still engage top gear, about 30mph. If I have to stop at the bottom of a hill I leave the transmission engaged as this vehicle shuts the fuel off on deceleration.
