Look at the big picture. Acceleration makes a difference in mileage, but overall speed and minimized braking and situational awareness affect mileage much more. Just use moderately high throttle to accelerate, with lowish rpm, and you're most of the way there. The focus on coasting, no-brake-ing, timing traffic lights and such. Acceleration is important, but it's just one of many facets to hypermiling.
