Best load is 75-80% with out full throttle enrichment. I will drive many tanks of fuel in my Fiesta and never see over 3500 RPM, becasue that is where it shifts out of first gear even when accelerating gradually. I find that when I am in heavy traffic it is actually best to accelerate at the average speed of the traffic and it also creates less issues with other drivers wanting to tailgate you if you accelerate at a slower pace.
