floor it all the time... especially on freeway onramps... i hate when the people speed up to try to get ahead of you and there is a long line of cars after following closely... so i just gun it up to 80 =)

All the time. I get about 18mpg in my AWD. I always use manual mode and keep the rpms high. Probably cause a I came from a RSX. Although I don't floor it as much as I did with my RSX.

That almost makes me want to buy a 250 just to drive to work & back! I've seen my Tank Avg. at around 11 or 12 MPG before...

I floor mine all the time! In the last 6 months I've had 2 speeding tickets over 130mph. Last February 131mph Last Thursday, 142mph. BOTH by a State Trooper and I talked my way out of going to jailllllll! Don't even ask me what time the tickets were given....OK...you got me...4am! ooopps

The point of the 350 is that it's quick even when you don't floor it.

Damn right about that. It's like building up a tolerance to a drug.
