It's only happening because you lift the throttle and the engine rpm drops ... as does the load on the engine (as it's going to idle).
At speed, you're obviously using less fuel when coasting than while accelerating.
If you want to continue accelerating, don't interrupt the process, as you'll lose speed again, and need to re-accelerate to make up for it.
