Thinking is just physics, accellerating a given mass from 0 to 55 is the same amount of work in terms of kinetic energy. But doing it slowly you had to go a longer distance so more work is done. So more fuel is used accelerating slowly but more work has also been done.

Proper accelerating is better though, open throttle, but low rpms and short shift. Almost never beat out of a light with my auto's, shifting at 2k the cobalts not so quick.
