Please pardon my ignorance on this... I know the Asst meter stands for assist, but in terms of the car performance, does it mean the electric motor is active and assisting the gas or is it the other way around? I am just not sure what the Asst meter is telling me. Is it a good thing for MPG when that meter registers or is it bad??? Also, I have seen a number of people talk about avoiding the brakes and coasting to benefit MPG and avoiding stopping. How does this benefit MPG? Don't the brakes regenerate the battery? When stopped, doesn't the autostop save fuel? Thank you.
