Are there any cons from having a "lead feet" when driving?

Question

I tend to accelerate fast after coming to a complete stop. Are there any cons for doing this? Will it damage my car?

Answer 1

1. loss of gas mileage.

2. wear and tear on the brakes.

3. wear and tear on the engine and trans mounts.

4. wear and tear on the whole car really.

Answer 2

Absolutely.   Using too much of this 3.50 a gallon gas.  Take it easy and save some of your hard earned money for nicer things.

Answer 3

The only time that having lead feet in a car is good, is if you have to make a quick stop, then you can use both of your lead feet to prevent an accident. Jack rabbit starts kill your gas mileage, wear out your tires, and can get you a ticket from the police. It also is hard on your U-joints and your shocks. Yes, you can damage your car.

Answer 4

You're wearing out the transmission much more rapidly. Also the tires, engine, differential, U or CV joints, suspension.

(All costly to replace)

Answer 5

If you drive more aggressively, you'll have a big drop in fuel economy and if you accelerate harder, your engine has to work harder.......Yes, that's not good for the health of your car.

Answer 6

Low *** MPG, probably wear out the CV joints much faster if front wheel drive. Plus you're putting excess deposits on the motor from putting in so much gas. Not all of it burns, ya know.

Answer 7

Do your feet turn to lead ONLY when your in your car?
