Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. This is fascinating because when I switched to a hybrid, I started tracking my MPG really closely as well, and it turned me into an efficient driver rather than an aggressive driver. It's funny that the effect seems to hold with others as well. I didn't anticipate that response, but now that you've said it, I find it much less surprising.
The other thing that has helped is Toyota gave me a year of free satelite radio, and there are two channels which I mostly listen to: Chill & Netflix is a Joke. I've promised myself that I will cancel SiriusX if I revert to aggressive driving.
My only regret is that I didn't get a Rav4 Hybrid (instead) cause the Camry is really low to the ground (no clearance / headlights). But the MPG game is fun... I love going into fully-electric mode the last mile of my residential drive (a lá *South Park's "Smug" episode).
