Im not doubting the real meaning of acceleration, just using it the way we normaly do when talking about cars in here. Like I was saying about going up a steep hill, you have to basically go WOT to keep the car from losing speed and not necessarily increase speed, and in this sense we are accelerating the gas pedal but nit really the car. I think we are both on the same page just looking at it in a different angle.

Yea, before your last post I had edited my last post to bring up the possibility of that being what you mean. What confused me is that when most people talk about their car accelerating, they mean it in the book sense -- their car is increasing in speed.
