I do. Well at least m-f. I have to get on the interstate, so I usually go WOT at the top of the ramp to get around the slow a**es .

I was thinking though if I didnt do that every morning, if my gas mileage would improve

I know that WOT means flooring it, but what does each letter stand for?

I am going to have to say that most of the time I do, at least one time while going on a 15min+ drive. Its normally when passing, or getting onto the highway. When I first got the car about 6 weeks ago, i would do it so many times its not even funny. I am 18, i cant help it! But seriously, i know it is hard on the car, and burns a lot of gas. I have been drivin it like a grandpa lately unless someone wants to run, or I gotta pass.

Wide Open Throttle

I flog my car pretty hard but definitly not WOT everytime i drive it. Most days i probably dont' go over 1/3 throttle. 1 or 2 days a week i would take backroads home from work flying and definitly get into it a couple times.

Im 16... I cant help it, my gas mileage is horrible due to it though. I had my girl driving it a few times on my last tank and my gas mileage went up alot due to it.
