I wonder if I am capable of exercising enough self-restraint to just ignore the gauges.

It sometimes raises my stress level too. Riding in the car with my wife streeses me out more. Im like DONT PRESS THE GAS! KEEP IT IN EV MODE!!!

I generally drive when I'm with my wife, but I find that I drive it a lot differently with her in the car. I probably drive a little slower but I'm not doing many of the things I'd normally do to increase the mileage.

Meaning that if that person making the left hand turn had waited two seconds for you to pass, they could have made a safe, leisurely turn without risking anyone's life and limb.
Maybe they were hypermiling and didn't want to come to a complete stop... jk...

Of course! It's only the hybrid drivers who do this. I can't believe I never noticedt that before!
