Actually, no. Accelerating at around 75 to 85% throttle, and get up to top gear as fast as you can doing so. Still only shift at 2,000-2,200 rpms, but at 80ish% throttle. What makes you get worse gas mileage is braking. You turn ALL that forward momentum into HEAT in your brake pads, you can never get that back.

Thats true, sometimes people think to accelerate extremely slowly but in reality you need to get up to speed at a moderate pace. If you're accelerating for half a mile, the entire time you might be getting 8 -10 mpg. Where as if you accelerate a little quickier, you might get 6-8 mpg but for a much shorter duration.
