Can you convey some sense of what loads you are using during the acceleration phase? Light, moderate, rather heavy? Do you have a load indicator? I can't remember what you have said about loads, if anything.
BSFC charts for "conventional" cars usually indicate the most "efficient" torque, in terms of fuel used, at rather high loads. I haven't done enough experimental work to know that the therory works out on an insight where one could accelerate at very light loads in 3rd and still have lean burn.
