Depends on how the vehicle acts on hills. My car is terrible for gliding up hill but great for going downhill. Of course, I try not to P&G often, but even when DWL I can see the results on hills. Every day I drive to I-44, and there is a huge hill that I go up and down to get there. Going down I can get up to 60 (speed limit 50, but who cares, long uphill right after) then going up the hill I get down to 45 MPH. On the highway I just DWL because at those speeds and city traffic, there is no reason to P&G. Once at school, I can P&DFCO (automatic makes my DFCO last down to about 17 MPH) around the circle and receive great numbers, going from 27-23-27-stop.

What I'm getting at is that all vehicles are different, just play around with how you think it should be driven, do what feels best, try new techniques and see how they work out for your car. Don't do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable (EOC in auto for me) because then you will be a danger to other drivers.
