It's a Wonderful Day for Science!
You know A thought of the comiedian Eddie Murphy comes to mind from a skit he did called Ice Cream. A little boy hears an ice cream truck and runs after the truck screaming ice cream man, then the truck stops and the little kids are all buying thier ice cream.. Little eddie did not get any because he didnt have enough money,
so the other kids teased him saying ice cream I've got ice cream and you don't cause your momas on welfare ect. well I see posts where people cant buy a hybrid because of $$ problems and I think of the ice cream skit and in my brain I replace the ice cream with Hybrid...(ok im a little out there)
Why would you force manual stop (note its not auto because your shutting the eng off) on a delsole ? LOL, was it a test to see what kinda mileage youd get??
I think the mileage is impressive, I guess the kh/l thing is screwed up anyone that has to drive on the wrong side of the road and uses kelometers & liters must be wacky nu nu..... But then on the other hand they could say the same about us..LOL
Also it sounds like too much work shut off bump on , hey you cold rig one of those clapper things and it would be automatic (clap on & clap off, the clapper)!
What happend to your prius?
If I had 3 cars Id sell/trade in on another hybrid .. if I could not afford the prius then I guess I would have the buy the cheaper honda <j/k> but I would have two and saving that much more in fuel without fighting with the ice
