I usually do the slow acceleration for lights around here. Some of the traffic lights are very badly timed. It makes everyone behind me angry, but oh well.
As for the freeway, I definitely need to do more hard acceleration. I think the only reason I didn't make it to 60mpg is because after I went up inclines using constant throttle (letting speed fall from 60mph to 55mph) as opposed to letting cruise control compensate, I accelerated a bit sluggishly back up to 60mph. I think in some ways that may have cost me a bit of efficiency. When I did hard acceleration I saw an overall gain in mpg, though.
