I agree with ken and steve. The pedals are close enough to place your right foot half on the brake, half on the gas. Since the part of your foot on the brake is the stronger part (ball of your foot), you can learn to keep steady pressure while twisting the outer edge to blip the throttle. Practice on sections of road where precision is not important to get the hang of it.

I learned to toe-heel when I was 17. My Pontiac LeMans had a Rochester 4 barrel that would flood when first started up (needle valve or float problem, but that's not important right now), forcing me to master toe-heel to keep then damn thing running. Sometimes necessity forces change, but it is skill I've used since.
