Default Traffic light stops

Hi!

I am the proud owner of a new Camry Hybrid and enjoying getting to know it day by day.

At issue: when I make a stop, eg at a traffic light, the display indicating whether the electric motor or the gas motor is active shows no activity going on on both motors. In the meantime, the consumption gage shows a 30 l. per km (this is Canada) gas consumption, the maximum available on that gage. Sometimes, but not always, the needle will come down in the eco zone.

This leads me to conclude that city driving, especially when frequent stops are involved, uses more gas that I had been expecting.

Does anyone have any comment to offer?

Thanks,
