Ah yes, this sounds like my morning commute. Every day it's ownage.
My optimal acceleration is actually a little quicker than most traffic (maintaining 1800-2200rpm and certain throttle position), so I usually pull ahead of the traffic... then I coast down to the next red lights, usually slowing down early so I am still rolling when it goes green.
I usually collect several tailgaters along the way, who, despite all the impatient driving they don't get anywhere quicker (thwarted by the design of traffic light phasing which is kind of designed against cheaters).
