About the rate of acceleration "brisk" vs. "gradual"...

didnt svoboy or someone with a crx test this and showed that the differences in mpg were very small?

I'm always reading conflicting strategies on this website. Palemalenesian (sp?) says he just got his best tank ever of 82mpg by doing slow acceleration. Other people are saying doing brisk acceleration. Is this another case of "do whats best for your car?"

Sevenspeed, yay, another GSR owner on here to compare mpgs with! 33-34MPG highway was the max I got with that motor before ecomodding. Now im up to the 43-45mpg highway range.
