I am a WOT fan for several reasons.

I travel in peak hour traffic a lot and find getting ahead of the traffic leaving the lights but not catching up to the next group of traffic works really well.
I get a whole section of road to myself where i can choose my speed and not have to contend with other drivers pulling in front of me and jamming their brakes on causing me to brake hard as well.

Then there are the traffic lights. If i accelerate slowly, then i seem to catch the red lights more often. It feels like the lights are sequenced for travelling at or near the speed limit. Once you are caught by one red light, if you don't get a move on when it turns green then you will get caught a couple of lights further down the road.

Then there is the sanity aspect. Travelling in a crowd of drivers who spend more time fiddling with the radio, texting, even reading while driving puts an unnecessary strain on my nerves.

I will happily travel in the relative serenity between clumps of traffic.
It is also nice to know that the WOT style isn't hurting my mileage.
