You're driving an automatic, the car should select the correct gear for you. However some automatics allow the driver to select low gears for use in slow moving traffic for example. If you feel you need more power when driving uphill then select one of the lower gears.
In gear. Whichever one... doesn't really matter.

The best gear combination for going uphill is typically a lower gear to make it easier to pedal and maintain a steady pace. This allows you to exert less effort while climbing steep inclines.
When biking uphill, it is best to use a lower gear to make pedaling easier and more efficient. This allows you to maintain a steady pace and conserve energy while tackling the incline.
Once you have achieved highway speed, you would stay in the highest gear, except for steep uphill or downhill grades.
To shift into 2nd gear in a manual transmission vehicle, first press the clutch pedal all the way down with your left foot. Then, move the gear shifter from 1st gear to the neutral position. Finally, release the clutch slowly while gently pressing the gas pedal to smoothly engage 2nd gear.
When going uphill on a bicycle, it is recommended to use a lower gear to make pedaling easier and more efficient. This will help you maintain a steady pace and conserve energy while climbing.
Driver use gear 'L' or '2' when driving uphill or downhill which required higher gear ratio to move the uphill. Downhill wise, driver use '2' or 'L' for safety purpose. The low gear ratio will use the high gear ratio to slow down the speed of driving downhill and creating 'pulling' force on your car to safety purposes. Gear '2' can be use for overtaking on the highway too provided at the appropriate speed.
It depends on the gearing of the car. If you are in the highest gear and 40mph in that gear is under the idle rpm of that car than you will stall.
Driving a manual car involves several fundamental steps. Firstly, ensure the car is in neutral by pressing the clutch pedal and shifting the gear stick to the middle position. Start the engine and gradually press the clutch while shifting the gear stick into first gear. Slowly release the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator to start moving. To change gears, lift off the accelerator, press the clutch, shift to the desired gear, and then release the clutch while gradually applying the accelerator again. Rem
You will smell it burning and your engine will slip as you pull away in first gear and while going uphill.
