Electric stove question! Should I use all burners equally to keep one from burning out faster?

For some reason, i hate using my left rear burner, for example. I use the other one 99% of the time. But will this make my stove wear out faster and cost me a lot of money in the long run?

    don't think you have to much to worry about,sure it helps to use all the eyes but don't think its gonna make a big difference if you choose not to use one eye over the others.main thing to remember is keep it clean,and don't use alum.foil on the drip pans,that will cause a short in the eyes faster than using one more than the others

    It will make the burner you use more often wear out quicker. But that's not a problem, just switch the bad burner element with the good one once it goes bad.
