I should learn that "WTF?" hand signal. Unless you are going to have to stop again anyway, slow acceleration does not save you anything as long as you don't get the injectors into open loop, at around 80% throttle opening. It shows up badly on instant fuel economy guages because they are not smart enough to take momentum and elevation into account as assets.
