Yes, I understand that recuperating the energy is only partial, but the point I was trying to make is that now that your are a hybrid driver you should be slightly less concerned with having to slow down, as compared to a non-hybrid driver who loses 100% of that momentum energy. I find it frustrating too, but more frustrating when I'm driving my conventional car than the Prius... At least I have the chance to recuperate that energy in the Prius, as compared to none of that energy with the Colt.
