There's going to be an envelope. Accelerate too slowly and a bigger percent of travel time and distance will be spent in lower less efficient gears. Accelerate too quickly and you could be running open loop and you'll also be producing a lot of extra heat that doesn't necessarily translate into forward motion. The challenge is to find the sweet spot and that could vary with load and terrain.
