Oh but you can, here is how i drive:

First, I am never in a hurry to get anywhere
second, when I accelerate I gently push the gas pedal and slowly get up to speed.
third, when I am approaching stop lights I slow down well in advance and most of the time when I get there they have turned green, saves stop and go driving.
fourth I hover just below the speed limit
My truck is also stock as the day it came off the assembly line.

try it see if it works for you.
