Not necessarily. Depending on the grade, you could be driving closer to best BSFC on the uphills.

If we want to consider not the whole state, but sizeable areas within a state, then I'll vote for Nevada's Black Rock Desert as flattest. It's so flat that when water collects on parts of the playa in a wet spring, a good wind can move the resulting "lake" miles from one side to the other.
