Let her rip- harder acceleration means less acceleration.

The sooner you're up to cruising speed, the sooner you're out of the bad instantaneous mpg. Even if you can mitigate it somewhat, it doesn't beat cruising mpg. Get into the throttle more sou you can get out of it sooner.

Your short trip mpg will thank you long before you get where you're going.
