Default MPG Question

Kind of a dumb question. I was thinking about peoples driving styles and how it relates to mpg. For example if you are at a stoplight and when you go you are going up a long hill. How would you waste the least amount of fuel? If you use light throttle to get up the hill you would be using less fuel the whole time, but it would take you a longer time to get up the hill then if you would just use hevier throttle to get up to the speed limit then back off.

Like I said, not really an immportant question. Just a thought. Please give your input.
