Everyday. On the way to work a few times, and then going home it’s the catback exhaust that makes me do it.

Did it once a few years ago. Maybe that is why I get 25-27 MPG in town and others report 15-18.

Red light - stop
Green light - go
Yellow light - WOT

If they didn't intend for you to experience WOT then they would have made the floorboard closer.

I'm 29, I drive my 450h in eco 85% of the time. I find it more than sufficient for daily driving. The other 15% is sport. Maybe 5 times in sport+ since owning the car. I'm a left lane driver and usually follow the fast guy on the highway with a good distance inbetween cars. I like to go WOT in Sport mode.

Everything I own sees WOT, be it my other daily driver Honda Civic, my old Buicks or my wife's Honda HR-V. Even my lawn mower got the governor turned up a smidge.

I will add to that everything I DRIVE sees WOT, be it mine, yours or rental... especially rentals!

Soot is the enemy, blow it OUT!

The fastest car on the road is the car you rent
