^ All 100% true, but even with the efficiency losses I'm pretty sure the Hyundai still gains efficiency over a conventional combustion engine system of similar output, with the advantage over our pulse and glide that you're not constantly accelerated and decelerated while driving.

I think someone on this forum was working on, or at least talking about, setting up a cruise control system to do P&G automatically.
