Uses more fuel when pressing and let go the accelerator for modern engines. Should just maintain the position of the accelerator pedal..
sg road how to maintain like that...

Actually, they don't save fuel at all. It costs more petrol to accelerate than to maintain the same speed. Hence, the question is, 1s of accelration vs 2s of maintaining smae speed - which takes up more?
In the end, its not how often you press, but how hard you press. If you floor it for 3 seconds to get to 100km/h as opposed to me pressing lightly to slowly go to 100kn/h, I'll have spent less petrol than you over the same distance.

Can, weekend drive on expressways. (eg: TPE, SLE)
kitten's life more precious than a human's life?
y emphasize on the kitten's life? its a big no no to speed and beat the red light, with or without the kitten.
thats terrible.
but aww, thats quite a sweeping statement.. animals DO attack when fighting over territory. isnt that a matter of ego too?
their old habits nvr change one lah!
worst is their habit of suddenly cutting into ur lane...jam brake...to pick up customer....
They are not as evolved as us humans in a certain way, so how is it that humans are behaving worse than animals sometimes?
u must be a non-driver...
last time about 1am i can do that, nowadays i can only do that at 3-4am...
dont really see a basis for comparison.. but suit yourself. i'm just of the mentality that as much as humans are incorrigible, we still have to live w them. so make do la.
I hate those Hyundai Sonata drivers sometimes. They really make me wanna puke. I don't remember my father (a cab driver himself) driving like that.
when driver chit chat on ear piece with his chick!!! I just so wary that more of his blood flow is diverted to his dick than his brain...

The older taxi drivers pump the accelerator because in the old days, the meter fare was based on fuel used rather than distance travelled. Therefore by pumping the gas they drove the meter fare higher. I guess it is just a case of 'old habits die hard' since these days they are just wasting gas and making their passengers uncomfortable.
Other bad habits of taxi drivers:
Falling asleep at the wheel. I have had to wake up two drivers who have nodded off - this is truly scary as they could possibly have killed me.
Stopping abruptly to pick up passengers - I have seen many an accident caused by this. Just putting on the hazard lights seems to mean you can break every rule in the Highway Code.
Reading the paper whilst driving - aiyo
Changing lanes without indicating
the list is probably endless....
