I have noticed that some guys almost always ride with their foot on the brake pedal (because I can see their brake lights glowing). The primary cause of this is a misadjusted brake pedal. Always adjust your brake pedal so that in your normal riding position ( while resting on the foot peg) your foot does not touch it and the pedal is slightly below your foot. I always keep a few cms depth between my toes and the brake pedal. Riding always with the brake pedal pressed will also reduce your mileage.
