One of these days i'll get around to redoing my testing in this area. a while back my buddy and I did an acceleration comparison test on my Jeep, and it showed that for city driving (less predictable stops) it is better to accelerate slowly (tested on route 41 and turning left at the next light from where we started) where as if you are accelerating onto an interstate where you will not be stopping soon it is better to accelerate with a higher load (tested on the same route, but not turning). The route we used worked well because sometimes we would get an unexpected Red Light, which would help us keep the variables there, just as they would be in real life. I didn't save the results, unfortunately, so once i get around to it again i'll save them and post them up here
