It's a manual transmission car. But, like most newer vehicles, it won't hold itself back at all. I can be going 65MPH on a highway and shove it into 3rd gear and it will keep going 65MPH.

I would have just let it go as fast as it wanted on the down hills then slowed back down on the up hill, would have been able to save a bit more gas.
