Terrain is also important for me. Where I live it is undulating; not flat but few big hills.
I usually do the opposite to you. I try to pulse down the hills and glide up. My logic is that I use the engine where I get maximum acceleration for any given fuel usage, and I don't use the engine when it would have to battle against the terrain. Of course, many times I cannot glide all the way up a slope and I do have to use the engine going up hill, but my aim is to avoid that.
I don't have any data to show that my approach is better than yours, just my gut feeling. Can you convince me that I am wrong?
