"Excellent"!! This is so true, my wife and I have found ourselves driving slower and more "hybid like" with the vehicle.
The problem that I have is the contant observation the I find myself doing of the ECO meter and instant MPG gauge, trying to sip every ounce of gas. I told my wife this weekend that I have got to stop doing that and just enjoy and drive the car. The differance between constant observation and normal or average driving, thinking about work or other things, is probably no more than 1 or 2 MPG per tank. Is this worth the stress I find that I put on myself to get better than the EPA numbers.
Anybody know a good Hybrid Psychologist
