    I'm sure it's spinning at some lower-than-normal speed to minimize   
    turbo lag and wear and tear on the bearings from stops/starts.   
      
    I started driving in high school, spent my time reading Road & Track   
    and driving way too fast for conditions. Now, I'm in my 60s, I'm   
    driving a Lexus ES300H, a turbo semi-luxe 4-door sedan. Why does it   
    need a sport mode and a flappy-paddle gearbox? I'm in the same boat as   
    you, drive the speed limit in the slow lane and get crazy gas mileage   
    in return.   
      
    Driving to my office I can get 51mpg.
