re: prius, actually that is a good case study. As a hypermiler it sucks, you have to try to "outsmart it".

And of course automatic transmissions have historically REALLY sucked at efficiency, though not at margins.

Automatic transmissions are a pretty sad state of affairs actually, it isn't like controlling injector timing.
