It all depends - you're probably best off keeping revs under 3k or so and only using 50-70% throttle, but that may not accelerate fast enough in the city. If you have to accelerate a bit faster than that would give, I would say revving it up a bit more (as I said, 3.5-4k) would be preferable to flooring it while you're lugging the engine at 2.5k.
Also, you will probably get slightly improved mileage as it breaks in, but I wouldn't expect it to be a magic cure-all or anything. The reality is, you're driving in the city. You won't get good gas mileage (and you still never answered my question about the length of your trips).
