I'll be the first to let you know that 'drive it like you stole it' is actually a viable fuel economy driving style for diesel mechanical cars. You want to accelerate with it basically between 1900-2500 rpm and the pedal dangerously close to touching the road. The governor takes care of the rest, get to high gear s soon as possible this way and cruise at whatever speed. The rest is responsible use of the brake and learning your cars handling characteristics so you aren't slowing excessively for curves etc.
