I believe these numbers are high, I will have to take a stop watch with me for a couple days to see what the actual is...

An MPGuino has a parameter that tells you how much fuel you've burned while stationary. For my commute it was just over 1 gal for every 270miles. This is only with the car 100% stationary, not counting the potential savings of EOC up to a stop. I have about 24 stop lights too.
