I'd agree for automatics, IMO the only good gear for FE is top gear with the converter locked, so I 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.
