I forget who wrote the article, but the gist was that it is actually more fuel efficient to "briskly" get up to your desired speed than it is to slowly accelerate. As I remember, the testers chalked that up to the idea that driving in your highest gear is most efficient; however, after starting to do more research and reading more information on this site, I'm inclined to believe that their findings are partly the result of the increased efficiency at an increased load.
