^^ All good and way too common, plus the electric gadget comment. Saw an idiot in a Prius sitting all by himself well after the light turned green. He was checking email or playing Words with Friends on his Smart (Dummy) Phone.
And Prius drivers hypermiling, now that is beyond stupid and probably the main cause of NOVA traffic congestion:
- Drive as if you don't have brakes.
- Be gentle with the accelerator.
- Avoid idling.
- Go slower up hills, and faster downhill
- In a hybrid, Pulse and Glide
