yeah mike
you said " he only gave me 30 feet to slow down..."which means you were not observing the speed limit prior to that....
so it would be better to access fuel economy info and vehicle load prior to climbing the hill.... as in ... its justified to excelerate faster than the posted speed limit to pass another motor vehicle in a passing zone and then your required to reduce your speed back to the posted limit....so its also required to accelerate just before a hill to climb it at a constant speed..... maybe thats a better approach for your defense...
also its generally a "your call situation" judging traffic ,visability, road conditions, rural or densely populated area considerations
as to how you judged your choice of mph for safety reasons.
