Actually, I've heard the full throttle @ very low RPM is the most fuel
efficient way to accelerate due to intake systems being optimized for
best efficiency at WOT. One of the car magazines did a story about this
a couple of years ago (car and drivel?).

Francesco,
The lower the better, but you made need a higher 5th. Just as important is
throttle position. Never put your right foot on the floor on either pedal
(i.e. don't brake if you don't have to, never accelerate quickly, make only
gentle changes to throttle position keeping it constant if you can). How
fast is do most people drive (in Peru?)?
Or do what I do: leave your 16v in the garage and ride a bicycle. You will
have to drink and eat a bit more, but your car will drink nothing.
JV (who hopes he can always afford to drive with his foot on the floor,
when he drives.)
