I suspect regular non-hybrid cars in that clog were getting less than 10

What does your car get on your Highway 4 commute?
Well, my 3.8L SC'd GM cranks out twice the HP and nearly three times the
torque and uses less than 1/2 gallon an hour at idle. Obviously, it'd do
better if I turned it off at prolonged stops.
