Learn to shift early and use a lot of throttle getting up to speed (most engines are most efficient at 55-75% of throttle), then backing off when you reach cruising speed to the lightest throttle position you can use to maintain speed.

hold up, so to save gas i must floor it more to make my car more efficient when accelerating???

and here i am trying to use 10" of vac for accelerating!!

im going to test this one out next month
