Great write up man. I actually hear a lot of stories from people online (and even real life) going from soft to brisk acceleration and seeing an MPG increase.
Even though the test didn't reflect that hearsay very much, but it also didn't reflect the common belief that slower acceleration is more fuel efficient. The acceleration efficiency also probably has a lot to do with the vehicle being tested.
Even so, it's interesting to note that there wasn't an FE difference greater than 7% regardless of the acceleration method.
Which leads to another question . . which acceleration method is best for the life of the vehicle (least wear and tear)? It affects MPV (miles per vehicle) heheh. .
