2005apr12. Wired: Rise of the Green Machine. The beginning of the article describes the author’s attempt to fine-tune his acceleration in an attempt to improve his MPG:
Strange that they don’t have a separate gadget to literally “dial it in” if it’s so touchy. Some sort of ... dial ... thing that goes from 0% to 1% throttle, and reverts back to zero every time the car is turned off.Some fanatics even drive shoeless to be in better touch with the accelerator.
I have all the answers.
