This is an interesting discussion. I still feel you use less fuel if you take off from a slow start. From what I can see on my little gauge on my 944, using far less throttle and going to a SLOW acceleration puts me in the "20mpg" area with my foot down just a hair from a dead stop, than if i accelerated quickly to speed and then leveled out, my meter goes to into my black area which is "Errrr what miles per gallon...." zone.
Seems the same on my little escort. Starting and stopping is a large amount of the fuel consumption on the trip, even cutting down on this very subject can make an enormous change in your mileage.
