Brake usage on cars with auto vs manual transmission
#37
Fun conversation. I have a true museum-piece - a manual hybrid. Regenerative braking collects the kinetic energy when slowing down by charging the battery.

The energy system also helps me know which driving method uses gas. I don't think my Honda uses gas when downshifting and I'm not pushing the accelerator.

I've spent the weekend teaching my son how to drive a stick. It's been a little jerky, but he's getting the hang of it.
