Aside from keeping the engine around bsfc peak, the biggest acceleration tip is to know when to stop accelerating (and coast if traffic/time allow it). If you accelerate then mash the brakes then you just turned all that gas into heat, better to accelerate just enough to coast to the next stop/obstacle. If the obstacle is temporary (light, geese crossing, train, etc) it is better yet to stop accelerating sooner so you can "time" the clearing of the obstacle and keep your momentum.
