OK I can keep it simple: accelerate but not too fast (I think I've trained myself to do that already), & learn how to coast, and approach intersections.
I haven't seen one either, but if you look at a bunch of different engines' charts, you start seeing strong similarities. Take that general knowledge and apply it and you WILL get results.

The differences between your engine and the general "other" engine is only a few percent this way or that, and only matters for a portion of your driving time. You've got the right idea - keep it simple and keep working to do better.
