You can't even rely on this, on my car the default behaviour is that the middle of the accelerator pedals range of motion is the "sweet spot", and in fact flooring it will trigger the hill climb assist and cause the automatic transmission to go down a gear.


Typically there is extra resistance at the downshift position, and you already have full throttle in the current gear before engaging it.
