The signal is conditioned to have no change from new all the way down to
about 6 volts. Below that, however, the readings will indeed change as
the battery depletes. So I recommend changing the battery at or below 6
volts. At some point we may have the hardware tell you when that
happens.

I think Mark makes a good point here. As a Miata driver, the clutch is
the key pedal. However, in the Camaro, the gas pedal was more important
exactly as he describes. I don't think I pointed that out very well...
Here's the file that Mark attached, below...
