It's an old cliche' but the three most unuseful things in aviation are fuel in the truck, runway behind you and altitude above you.
I can fly fast and low, but it's mission dependent. I can fly to min on an NDB, land in the dirt w/ NVG and have landed on a flattop I've never seen. But Uncle Sugar has made me do it.
In general aviation I'd use the three rules, plus check wx, alternate routes, etc...without hesitation EVERY time, unless I were only flying around the patch doing T&G in the weather I could see with my own two eyes.
