I used to pulse using the 70%-80% rule (gas pedal pressed 70%-80%), but then read about how new turbodiesels' ECU are mapped to be efficient even at 100%, so I just floor it. It also helps to trick other drivers into thinking that I'm not a slow driver, hehe :evilgrin:
Also, when I have to accelerate from a stand-still, I sometimes skip 3rd gear - from 2nd straight to 4th (3rd should start at 40km/h, 4th at 50km/h). This does get the engine above 2000 rpm for a moment, but it also gets me up to speed much faster.
