lets dumb this down to under grad level LOL!
Your question is, "Why does it use more gas to accelerate more rapidly?"
The simplistic answers may be insulting so I wont go there, But I think you ask about reworded why Does it absorb more energy to accellerate fast v/s slow.
It does not., the big difference is that engine tuning is designed for what?
Thats the kicker see?', All engines are purpose designed and sacrifices must be made to conform to its intended application, to epa to carb etc etc etc.
My dodge R/T actually does more economy to accelerate quick then glide.
This is pulse and glide basis and It has big effect with cars designed for acceleration foremost .
others it doesnt do so good for because it switches ECM into WOT mode and just dumps fuel unceremoniously.
Unless You have fancy car that has special programs and optimizes itelf better than the standard cars up till about 2005?

Ok its deep its open and its simple I cant break it apart much better without becoming specific.
