Should the accelerator be pressed continuously or pressed and released alternately?

[VanMicah]

It is recommended to press and release the accelerator alternately. Here are the specific reasons for this operation: 1. Maintaining alertness: Alternately pressing and releasing the accelerator causes the vehicle to continuously accelerate and decelerate, which helps prevent drowsiness. This method also enhances the overall driving experience by improving vehicle control and making driving more enjoyable. 2. Reducing fuel consumption: Continuously pressing the accelerator hard will quickly increase the engine speed, and the car's ECU will interpret this as rapid acceleration, commanding the transmission to raise the RPM from 2000 to between 2500 and 3500. Appropriately releasing the accelerator can prevent such "misjudgment" by the ECU, ultimately reducing fuel consumption. 3. Controlling speed: During overtaking or rapid acceleration, continuously pressing the accelerator hard often results in high RPM but slow speed. In contrast, alternately pressing and releasing the accelerator allows the speed to increase more quickly.
