were you driving downhill with the engine dragging?

No, I average about 20 mile of driving with the engine in autostop, this is of course 130 mile round trip.

I'm an HR interviewer for a fortune 20 company....Do you need a job dumbass?

I wonder how true that statement is. Consider a gas car that gets about 9.5L/100k fuel efficiency, if driven 400km a week, will consume 1,976L of gas per yr. A Prius gets about 4.1L/100k, this will consume 832 L/yr (hybrid consumes 58% less). Refineries get ~75L of gas from a barrel of oil. Meaning the gas car uses 26 b/yr whilst the hybrid uses 11 b/yr. If the lifetime is 5yrs, the hybrid consumes 75b less oil. I'd be interested to see how much pollution batteries create compared to that oil.

and if someone wants to buy a hybrid, then they should. its their money. who is anyone to talk someone out of buying a hybrid? i plan to. even if it does cost that much in x amount of years, at least im not putting more pollitions into the air. and isnt that the whole point?

dude! i have a 2003 hond civic hybrid with a manual transmission, and the highest i ever get is like around 50mpg how do you get yours up to 90 mpg??

[NSReilly2]

If you have a manual, what are some techniques to get better mileage? I'm getting around 34mpg which is not even close to the 70+ mpg the manual drivers can get.

While autostop is on all safety systems are still active in the car, if you loose vacuum in the brake system the car engine just turns back on automatically.
