You mentioned the Rondo having a sensitive throttle input. Is there a BSFC graph for this particular engine? I've scoured the web for one but can't find it.
As far as acceleration goes, I've been keeping it around 2,000-2,100 RPM before hitting 5th gear. I think, if anything, I'm too light on the accelerator, as it takes over 20 seconds to hit 5th gear (typically 42-44 mph, or 70 km/h). In my suburban stretches I have about a mile (1.6km) between traffic lights, and I can't but think I'm losing some fuel economy by reducing the % driving time in high gear. Maybe 2,200 - 2,300 RPM when accelerating? Good/bad idea?
