It seems like a lot of cars are factory tuned to accelerate and idle smoother than smooth more than for MPG.
If you advanced the timing and lowered the idle,increase the spark gap on cold plugs & boost the coils output i think, it would run more responsive to throttle input possible requiring less throttle to get it moving.
