Um, have to disagree with you, Bob, as I actually do refuse to inch forward. My car turns off when I stop, and if I want to inch forward, I have to lose my AS. I guess the newer HCHs have an electric mode I don't have, or something. And a thread I was just reading included a post from a guy who liked to make comments in front of SUV owners at service stations about how great his gas mileage was. So there can be a bit of smugness out there.

I'm not saying that the critical opinions are warranted- if I don't inch forward, who am I hurting? 90% of the time, maybe more, it doesn't matter ONE BIT to the person behind me, since I start a bit earlier after the light changes and make up the space anyway.
