I use a triple-asterisk version of hr with 0.9em top/bottom margins:
Code:
hr {
/* Thematic break to use 3 asterisks between parts of story */
  margin-top: 0.9em;
  margin-bottom: 0.9em;
  border: none;
}
hr::before {
  content: "***";
  display: block;
  text-align: center;
}
I was actually wondering if that spacing might be too much. So, your 1.5em top/bottom does sound a bit much to me, too.

You mentioned padding on an epigraph page. Could you post your padding settings for that?

@JSWolfe: you mentioned @page. I just leave what Calibre sticks in there.
Code:
@page {
  margin-top: 0;
  margin-left: 0;
  margin-right: 0;
  margin-bottom: 0;
}
At all zeroes, I assumed that's not a problem (especially since I've got the same setting in my body, html setting). Should I delete that or just leave it?

EDIT: And for padding in hr, are you saying I should be using padding-top/padding-bottom set to 0.9em each instead of margin-top/margin-bottom?
