just wondering, I live about 5 miles from the city and it is all 50 mph limit, and every block along the way has stop signs posted, maybe a 1.5 to 2 miles apart. it's worth getting to 80 to get peak mpg but not sure if it's worth the rush to get there.

If I accelerate slow, I'll get to the next stop before I get up to speed and i dont want ot hammer it to get going, I was going to instal a vacuum gauge and maybe accelerate as fast as the vac gauge dictates. i can only run som many stop signs

any advice?
