That's contrary to the training I got when I was learning to drive. I was told you should feather the throttle.
It isn't really clear to me how driving with your foot on the floor is going to save gas. Anyone have any thoughts on that?
I drove my S gently when I first bought it (through breakin), and my average mileage dropped around 8MPH after (and since) breakin.

I've heard 1/2-3/4 is the most efficent

5 bucks you save on gas, who cares?
spending 30k on a sports car and drive like granny to save gas,
how ironic is that?
this kind of topic pisses me off.
im ****in broke, but i'll still donate some money for anyone who needs that extra 5 bucks.
Enjoy your damn S.
