Going from a full stop is tough. The thing is though I don't think you save more gas when you take your time getting to the speed limit. My thinking is the longer it takes to get to your desired speed, the longer you are on the gas pedal and the hard the engine works i.e. you can notice your RPMS gettin higher and higher and staying at say 3000 rpms longer.

IMHO if you get to your speed limit, quickly but safely, you will spend less time stressing your engine speed and more time coasting once you get to the speed limit.
