Yep... My domestic partner does the same thing. He always lets the foot off the brake at stoplights, so the engine just runs and runs. He also blasts the AC to max, even if it's not hot outside. Net result? I get about 45 MPG, and he gets about 36. Lovely...
I keep trying to tell him that hybrids only get the "hybridized" mileage if you know how to drive them correctly. Oh well. What can ya do?
Hope is like a candle held against the night.
