Best way to accelerate

Hi All,

I've just managed to bag a pretty good deal on a used Yaris YRS. My questions is how to accelerate to maximize mileage. ATM, I change gears at just under 2000rpm to get up to 60kph.
Can anyone tell me if it might be better to from 3rd to 5th gear, and in 5th gear go from 35kph to 60kph. Would this wear out the clutch excessively, or will it be economical.

Thanks
Fatty
