<<The point is that stop and go traffic at 10-20 mph is extremely inefficient. That is why the "city" rating is much lower than the "highway" rating for gas mileage.>>

No shit? I never would have guessed. It's the stop and go ot the 10-20 thats the killer. You burn extra gas accelerating, and kill the inertia stopping.

Do you drive one of the Hondas that capture the energy from braking to power the electric part of the hybrid drive?
