 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.
