WOW, so many helpful replies. Thanks a ton.

For accelerating, what does it mean by as fast as possible? The engine revs up to 3k on 1st gear so fast, do I let off the pedal so it will shift? Or do I keep the position and let the car shift itself?

I have seem a lot of people here mentioning about accelerating at a brisk pace. What's brisk? And do all cars save fuel by accelerating at brisk level?

Since I drive city 100% I noticed that I either run at 57km/h (50 is the limit) in 4th gear at 2000rpm, or accelerate all the way to 64km/h so the car will shift into overdrive and keep 60km/h at 1500rpm.

So is this 1500rpm is what you guys want to get to by brisk acceleration?

It sucks that speed limit here is 50kmh whereas most other Canadian cities are 60 so I rearly can archive even 55 before I have to slow down for next red light or traffic.
