Orbit can be used productively. One example would be timing your exit so your lane is clear. Without the orbit, you have to take a hard stop killing (and regaining) all your velocity. With a well timed orbit you can exit the parking lot with about 50% of the velocity you started your orbit with. I've done this (maybe twice) in the last year or so. Nice to have in the grab bag for the one time in a blue moon that you could use it.
DISCLAIMER: The obvious stuff about not orbiting in a crowded parking lot and not around people trying to cross all applies of course. People come first... MPG comes 42nd.
