I cannot maintain 50 mph on any hills. But then I live at 7,600 feet elevation. I usually top hills at 30 - 40 mph. I suppose at lower elevations that might equate to 50.

I just don't drive 50 on a regular basis. It's normally 40 - 45. I prefer to putt along and enjoy the moment, and I'm very conscious of overworking the engine on hills. I ease up on the gas, and retard the spark, and try to "coast" to the top of hills whenever possible. Beware of beating those Babbitts flat by trying to maintain a certain speed.
