Try a Bicycle
I use my bike to gauge most efficient approach. Since the HP of the vehicle is so greatly limited, the effects are easily seen. To use the least energy going from the flat to a climb I use a short burst at the bottom followed by sustained power output to just over the top of the climb.
Somehow the short burst at the bottom seems to give you a bit of momentum to carry into the climb. The sustained output lets the engine maximize efficiency. The continued effort just over the top brings you back to speed with minimal effort.
