If has similar driving characteristics and is gettting a lot better mileage please let me know.

I gave my hybrid to my mom to drive for about 2 weeks and my heart was just hurting seeing quick pulls off lights to 50-60 on city streets, and an average of 85mph on the freeway... surprisingly after a tank of this torture, the car still got 32mpg (hand calculated).
I am in cali, LA area, so about the same weather as you.
Do you rely on cruise control while driving?
