I've actually tested it with the help of one of my friends, using my ScanGaugeII, I didn't write down anything to make it official, but there is a slight improvement by "higher load" acceleration compared to slow steady acceleration when going onto a highway. BUT, slow steady acceleration is better in the city when you can't always predict a stop, or there are short distances between stops.
