On just starting a trip or driving slowly, the ICE is idling excessively compared to the 2000 Insight - I could kill the Insight's ICE in 2-3 ways to improve my fuel economy under those circumstances. I don't know the answer, but just maybe that extra idling the Prius does is what protects the traction pack - I'm not sure.
