don't waste time getting there in my Neon. 1/3 to 1/2 throttle until 50mph then back off slightly so the converter locks is my technique. It also sometimes gives me some space from following traffic to glide without annoying people behind me.

I like this as well because people expect you to crawl away from an intersection if you've just cut your engine to avoid idling.
I think the Jackrabbit BS was started to turn people off of improving their mileage. Who wants to crawl off the line and who wants to be behind them?
