Being a Prius owner and long time aficionado of fuel efficient autos, I had to read about a conventional auto that rivals the best hybrid ever made. I was starting to believe, until I read that stopping at the mailbox costs you 1-2 mpg per tank. So every traffic light, cow in the road, or
any other stop you encounter once a day drops your FE the same? A tenth of an MPG on a tank, maybe. If you see 1-2 MPG for this event, there is no way you'd be getting 55 MPG overall.
