Fixed amout of energy to get your car up to speed? Slow accelleration won’t help?
I assume it takes the same amount of energy to go from 0-60 in 4 seconds as it does to in 60 seconds. So does it also take the same amount of energy to drive at 60mph for one hour as it does to drive at 30mph for two hours? No! other factors are involved.

I would say driving like grandma is only the beginning! The starting point for mileage driving techniques. My Integra is has an EPA combined rating of 28 mpg, last tank I broke the 40 mpg mark. That far exceed’s grandma’s 5-15%, It takes some practice but the principles are simple avoid the brakes, further I coast with the engine off as much as possible, and never let it idle – well for 30 seconds on start up, but my car is 19 years old. There are many things that can incrementally improve your mileage a little at a time, but they do add up.

@Brian: Sorry, you may be “fairly certain” but you’re still mistaken. Try Googling “imperial gallon” sometime.

Are you sure they accounted for the fact that the US gallon is smaller than the British gallon?
