I, too, live in the San Francisco Bay Area but definitely do not feel the same way. The major commute corridors (680, 880, 101) are all flat with the exception of a small 5 mile stretch of 680 over the Sunol Grade.
I commute 60 miles from Concord to San Jose (and 60 miles back) each weekday. I've noticed that my IMA gauge gets used at the hill but, when traveling on the flat stretches, is just about pinned at 100% (especially with a light foot). Since I've already got 93K on the car the extended warranty notice was a welcome surprise.
