Most hills aren't steep enough to warrant that. In the SFBA, the only freeway with a lower speed limit than my terminal velocity is Highway 92 off 280 going to San Mateo, where I can go about 75mph in neutral for several miles. Everywhere else the car will lose speed until 40 or lower, and my car is a featherweight aka it has terrible coasting.
