For anyone wondering what is the most efficient way to accelerate, just find the peak torque and try to keep the engine RPM in that range during acceleration. Once up to cruising speed, bring the RPM way down.

I must be doing it all wrong with my Mustang. I shift between 1500 and 2500 RPM, depending on driving conditions. Peak torque is @ 3500 RPM. I
rarely see 3500 RPM on the tach.
