Coasting in neutral sounds like the right way to approach these long hills, in your case at least. When I reach a steep hill I leave my car in neutral because it cuts fuel to the motor and it keeps me from having to use my breaks as much. Log slow hills I use neutral coasting. EOC would also help if you were willing to shut the motor down.
