My Solution...
I travel on I-80 between Kearney, NE and Omaha, NE twice a month. It about a 174 mi trip. And it has some signifcant hills (for the Fit, anyway)

My Fit does exactly what you describe, and it is particularly annoying to me because I have a heavy foot. When on the interstate, I set the cruise at about 85-90. At these speeds, engine runs 3300-3500 RPMS. When going up a hill, it goes down to fourth, resulting in RPMS of 4500-5500.

After a while, it gets really annoying! So I put it in S mode and lock it into 5th. Speed only varies 5-6 MPH!
