>Because you're cheap green, you don't want to use any more fuel than necessary in getting over the hill. After running a few tests, you've discovered that if you approach the bottom of the hill at exactly 50 km/h, you can knock your vehicle out of gear, switch off the engine, and coast to the top. That gives you just barely enough speed to start coasting down the other side, when you can switch your engine back on and put it back in gear.
