07 Camry Hybrid at a stop -> max fuel then back to E mode
Hi:
I got my TCH on Sept 11 here near Toronto, Canada, has 2700 km on it so far. I noticed one odd phenomenon with the car... when I come to a stop, the engine revs up and Fuel Consumption meter (besides the speedometer) goes all the way up to 30L/100km (maximum fuel usage the meter dislays - gauges are metric in Canada) for a few seconds, then drop back down to E Mode with complete silence.
This occurs more often when the engine is cold. However, it may also occur after I exits a highway and come to a stop at the end of the exit ramp.
Does anyone know why the TCH's ICE needs that few seconds of revving up when it comes to a stop?
