Ditto about the Scangauge. I think it is right around 75% where it goes open loop.

I usually make a little run before going up the hill, then actually back off the throttle gradually on my way up. Do more Pulse and Glide if you aren't already, and extend your coasting to the stop signs. Slow down to 55 mph or less. That should break 50 easy. A Scangauge will show you a lot and IMO worth the investment.
