Every time you touch the brake pedal, you're taking kinetic energy that you got by burning gasoline in the engine, and turning it into waste heat. Total loss. As my dad always said, the brake pedal should be labeled "Press Here To Drain Gas Tank." Anytime your engine is idling, you're burning gas at 0 MPG. Real stop-and-go city traffic is horribly inefficient. Nobody's going to get 40 MPG in a Yaris doing that.
