Good points, both of you!
The only reason that I want a Prius is because it hurts my feelings to push my car up one hill, [engine] break down the other side, and then push my car back up the next hill!
In my first car, a 1987 Honda Prelude Si, I coasted down some hills, and coasted up the next one.
We will not discuss what speed that car reached.
With my Accord I turn off cruise control, downshift as I go downhill, and accelerate as hard as I can up the next hill without the developmentally-delayed butler downshifting whether I want it to or not.
The idea of leaving cruise control on the entire time is appealing. Dealing with hybrid batteries is not.
