I don't have the numbers in front of me, but in urban driving a
significant portion of the gasoline energy is expended by the brakes
(10-15%? - I used to have a chart on the wall at my desk, but I don't
remember the numbers - sorry)


Ok, I looked it up - the "typical" car puts about 6% of the gasoline energy
into the brakes on the US EPA urban cycle.
