Normally, I don't. Only when I'm in a hurry.

Everytime i get a straight line and no car interfere with that its pedal to the metal time. Just a reminder to the car that if it goes on a sick day i will misbehave so its has to be hospitalized.

Only time I can recall is when I was merging on the freeway and the option was floor it or stop on the entrance ramp.

As the price of gas continues to drop, I'd say more often than not. Definitely more than when I was paying $3.45 a gallon in Cali.

Exactly! Same here. I find the cheaper gas gets the more aggressive I drive!
