As I showed in another thread (I don't offhand remember which one it was), in order to maximize the overall FE you want to minimize the distance (not the time) spent travelling at poor FE gauge numbers. That is, accelerate briskly (but not excessively fast, so that the FE gauge reading is kept reasonably good) in order to get to the desired speed in as short a distance as possible.
