I don't think it is the car, it is because people who are interested in saving fuel without getting really involved like people on this forum often buy a prius as a means of doing this. One thing I do in mine is, if I see the lights are red ahead I take my foot off and coast up to the lights, often get it so I don't actually stop. after the lights I am ahead of where I would be if I did not do this, and I have saved fuel! sometimes people speed right up to me, overtake, then are caught by the lights. And THEY would complain about me!
