Thinking about it on my drive this weekend, and hill climbing speed is pretty straightforward. The best level cruise speed is an compromise between running your engine at partial load and the losses that increase with speed. When you are climbing a hill, the extra power required changes the equilibrium point, making the best speed lower. When going downhill the best speed would be higher (assuming it's not steep enough to just coast). All pretty easy to figure, so I'll rewrite my original algorithm to have slightly more refined hill handling.
