I generally accelerate at a moderate rate. I try to load the engine to ~80%. RPM doesn't matter much unless you're redlining every shift. If you want to go accelerate a bit faster, go for it. Typically, I shift most cars around 2500.

I completely agree! I'm no speed demon, I like to be safe as well as efficient, though I do wish trucks could get the same mileage as cars
