Maybe that's all you can do in an Insight, but that's not how most people do it... most people with a hybrid capable of EV that is....
P&G usually does NOT require turning the key off!

gpsman1,
Could you refrain from bait please?
Pulse and glide and Forced Autostop existed
decades before hybrids....please refrain from this silly HSD vs IMA hybrids feud and your differences as to how Wayne Gerdes hypermiles. I have not been personal with you in the past and would appreciate if you could return the favor.
That run on the video was running with the gas engine on about 20 or so yards, then coasting with the engine off as much as 0.4 miles - definitely pulse and glide. Emphasis is on the glide, but that's the point.
mjcmjc requested a video, then you proceded to attack it - that's why I hesitated to provide it. Not a very helpful atmosphere when someone attempts to provide info, only to have another member attack it.
