For me, brisk acceleration is what I get when I step the gas pedal about halfway down and shift at 2500 RPM. At that, I'm accelerating about the same as most other drivers.
I coast with the engine off as much as possible. All stop signs are full stop. I try to coast down to less than 20 MPH before using the brakes at a stop sign. If no traffic behind me, sometimes I'll coast down to 10 MPH.
