Hi, guys

So, my take is that:
I can ease off the accelerator and
I can ease up on the accelerator.

Am I right ?

I think both are physically possible and will provide the same amount of vehicle reaction!

I would say ease off, it sounds good.:-D

Just ease must use, no any prepositions.
ease : she eased it
ease off : it eased off, because she eased it.

Hi,

Yes the answer is eased up.

Thanks

I think "ease off"
"Ease off" means "reduce pressure"
is that oke ?

Perfect. Ease up requires an additional "on," so I vote for "ease off."

Both has basically same meaning. So how should I vote for both?

She eased ____ the accelerator to slow down a little.
