Start -Stop. Ha! Hate it when it works, wonder why (insert expletive of your preference) it doesn't work sometimes when it's not? :rolleyes:
I've mastered the "feathered brake pedal". It works. The car gets annoyed because it will tell you to "Fully apply Brake to engage Start/Stop"... I can deal! I've also learned to push the steering wheel slightly to start the engine a few sec's before the traffic light changes... get that oil pressure built up before I hit the GO pedal! :cool:
By the way... some of you think this system is only for fuel savings... it's also for Emissions. I work for an auto company... It's 2 birds with 1 stone thing....
 
You might want to use your Stop-Start...
Good write up / article from Road and Track last year. The accompanying video is really informative! I think I'll use my Start Stop after reading this. In short, if you're idling for 7 sec's or longer, you're wasting fuel based on a small 4 cyl engine, ironically in the video looks like a Honda 1.5L engine. The bigger the engine, the more fuel waste. Read the link below and find out...

Automatic Start-Stop Tech Saves More Fuel Than You Think You might think it's annoying and pointless. It's not
