most efficient engine speed is often near peek torque, and on a crx hf that is at 2,500 rpm, so on that car you really don't want to go past 2,500rpm.

I highly doubt that not exceeding 2500 rpm is maximizing your FE - the engine is most efficient at outputs higher than that. Try accelerating a little faster.
