Sorry if this gets answered somewhere in this thread as I am reading from the start over the last day or so in my spare time and just had to jump in to talk about this particular issue.

I am driving a 95 Ford Taurus SHO with an automatic and have wondered about this, I leave about every stop with a "glacial acceleration" and wonder if it is the best. I take into account when I could p&g a little, I am talking about all the other times.

Is it better or not?
