Changing from 65 miles per hour uphill to 55 MPH uphill may be a 5-10 MPG advantage.
2400 RPM will usually do the job on 4-5% hills.
On those 6-7% hills, I do run it at 4000 RPM.
I'm never in the teens except at 4000 RPM.
I suspect your MPG will stay in the 20's uphill if you keep it at 2400 RPM.

I agee exactly and this is what I try to do. Other than raising the PSI on the tires though. We go up to the White Mountains in Arizona every couple of weeks. The RPMs go way up but who cares.
