I agree - most cars do not have the gears to allow you to cruise at the leftmost red dot. So you may have to cruise at the 4th one. And lose ~25% of your MPG.
Regarding the driveability issues - the leftmost red dot is at 1/2 the power available at that rpm. So there is some room to generate more power before one has to down shift. Plus I don't mind downshifting and/or slowing down a little for the bigger hills.
