Quicker acceleration is better as the engine will operate where it is most efficient. Driving for FE can also be fun sometimes. The goal is to get to your cruising speed in the shortest reasonable distance without completely putting the pedal to the metal.

Don't be affraid to use boost when accelerating, it just makes your engine more efficient under load.
