Some of the toughest hills are on US65 from Springfield, Mo to Branson. Several looong and steep (over 6% grade)hills. Have to brake going down to stay under 70 mph, then hit the gas near the bottom to get momentum to get to the top. Usually doing 30-35 mph at the top with the rig in my sig with 4-ways on. Good straight road, but difficult to keep up the speed.
I remember going over those years ago thinking, wow these are STEEP.
35 to 40 MPH going over Grapevine, Siskiyou's, Tehachapi, Donner.
I've passed diesels on those but it was because the diesel had got stuck behind a slow truck, unable to get around.
Once you lose speed I don't care what you are driving you're gonna be slow the rest of the way to the top.
