I didn't much care for the way the pedals are positioned either.
I found that the gas pedal was lower than the brake pedal and when I swung my foot off the gas over to the brake pedal, it hit it. I was used to the brake and gas pedal being the same height. After a few times missing the brake pedal and stepping on the gas, I formulated this solution.
I took a sanding block and trimmed it to fit the gas pedal. Then I used some double stick tape on the bottom of the sanding to stick some sandpaper to the block, so it wouldn't slip off the gas pedal. To further secure it, I ran a couple of tie wraps through the slots cut in the sanding blocks for the sandpaper and cinched them up.
The sanding block has been attached there for many years. Every once in a while I'll replace the tie wraps, although they tend to last a very long time.
