I live in the moutains in Colorado and I climb 2,300 vertical feet in 9 miles to get home. I used to drive a '93 Acura Integra that I would drive in two states - either the accelerator was floored or the brake pedal would be mashed, with very little in between. The 1996 900SE Turbo has a MUCH easier time of it but I still spend quite a bit of time with the accelerator floored. I figure that it's easier on the motor to floor it at 2500RPM than to drive part-throttle at 4000 RPM in a lower gear.
David
PS. I replace brake pads and tires on all my cars about once per year. :-(
