Default 1 Min Consumption in freeway traffic (405 South)

I was stuck in freeway traffic the other day on my commute home on the 405 (Orange County). I noticed the 1 min consumption had more 100mpg bars than I've ever seen. Took a quick cell phone pic and thought I would share. 2010 Prius II in Blizzard Pearl.

Obviously you were driving in L.A. freeway traffic and drafting a larger vehicle at less than one car length. Isn't that normal for L.A.?

Notice the AVE. MPH value.

Now look at that value this photo...

Having that new bit of data available is quite informative, eh?
