The same is true of the Insight, BUT if you have a ScanGauge or similar, you might discover that the 'little throttle' is not actually sending gas to the engine, it's just cancelling the regen. At least that's the way the Insight works, and it would seem like an obvious thing to do in order to provide a driving experience that's 'just like a normal car'.
