I do it because it is a waste of fuel not to do it.

I don't find turning a key very much work. Nor do I find engaging the clutch much work. I would have had to do it anyway, even if the engine was on.

My wife drives it now instead of the Outback. 45MPG vs 18MPG. She only burns 40% of what she used to.

My point is that you don't need to a hybrid to get good mileage. You just need to be willing to put in a little extra time and effort. I got a sporty two seater with removeable top for one fifth the cost of another Prius. The mileage isn't quite as good as I would get with the Prius but I am still learning to drive the del Sol. Targeting 60 MPG by spring.
BTW, I don't fight the ICE. We work as a team.
