I don't think slow acceleration or slow hill climbing saves much fuel, if any. Engines are efficient when run at higher loads and inefficient when running lower loads. I've found it to be quite efficient to accelerate and climb hills at 80% throttle.
YESSS! Oh good... much more of that and my wife would be taking me to a room with rubber walls...
