Nope their is no need for me to beat on my car everyday. All it's going to do is shorten it's life span and I can't afford that.

When its running... I run it HARD, so the answer to your question is yes. BUT in my DD focus I have been learning to drive it without giving it any more than 1/4 throttle (I drive like an old lady) but in doing so my average miles per tank has gone from 290-300 to 350+ PER TANK!!! And its only like a ~12 gallon tank too. I don't think that is too bad concidering it is an auto.

Somedays i drive it like an old lady, shifting at 2300rpms, etc.

Occasionally i will gun it b/c its sooo fun when your car is actually fast (unlike last 4 cars, lol)

Nope because everytime I do hit it, I have to clean up the mess the next day with all the oil flying all over the place. I dont I have gone over 3k rpms in the past 2 weeks.

Yes I do. My car is one of the few things that put a smile on my face. I don't drive my car much. So, when I do get to drive it I try to make it fun. Just wish I could get out to the dragstrip.

I have to do it at least once everytime I drive it. But lately I have been trying to be good and not get on it too much. So usually once in the morning on the way to work and once on the way home. The rest of the time I putt it around to save gas. Already knocked down 230 miles on this tank and its barely at a quarter.

No. The car has gotten too loud and too powerful for my street tires. If I do try I am all over the place.

Absolutely.... 177,000+ miles and WOT every time I drive it. It's the only reason I own it.

I think the last time I went WOT was last week. It's my DD and everytime I do it, I cringe because I know i'm hurting it.

Besides 3/4 down is fast enough.
