Ally, since I live in the mountains, I am dealing with elevation changes on a daily basis - my solution isn't the best for gas mileage, but it works well for me.... I just stay in a lower gear and then I've got enough power to make the climbs - usually on back roads where I average 40-45 mph, I'm in third gear, maybe fourth if there aren't many elevation changes up ahead for a bit - but part of that is because I don't like downshifting in a curve if I can help it, and there are plenty of curves with changing elevation on my way home...
