If I can maintain 70-75 MPG going up a hill without losing too much speed, the coast or 125+ MPG going down the hill returns the same or slightly better fuel economy than a steady 85 MPG - 100 MPG cruise. If the car kicks out of lean burn or I have to downshift on a hill, my MPG seems to be worse, but not by much.
Now those West Virginian hills will be a challenge this Friday...
