Of course it's at the bottom of the #$%^&* hill so I loose about 2 MPG average in a 40 mile run, versus coasting down the hill and a third of the way back uphill.

Ever take the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and drive up 13 or 113? There are towns that have the lights timed so you hit on red, then the next one turns red right before you get to it.

It is so annoying, since I accelerate from 0-45, then stop. Then 0-45, then stop. 0-55, then stop. It really upsets me!
