MyDemoDrive.com - Johnson Controls

I heard about it this morning on "autoline daily:"

Johnson Controls | DemoDrive - Please select you language

It simulates a conventional, start-stop, and hybrid in different driving scenarios. I can not authenticate the model accuracy but it is a hoot to watch. Requires flash.

I tried it...it seems geared more toward the "Normal Joe" driver and seems like a marketing tool to get you to think you need a hybrid to get good gas mileage.

If they could let you pick how you accelerate and coast and stop, the results would be different.
