Question My car slows when going downhill ( auto trans )

Why would my car slow down when going down hill and in gear ? The car is a 1993 Civic DX automatic.

I have to constantly give the car gas to remain the speed limit while going down slopes and hills.

When i put the car in neutral and coast ( engine ON ) the car goes from around 42 mph at the crest of the hill, to over 50 at the bottom, so the car does not have dragging brakes.
