Doesn't all that shorten the life of your starter though?

That it does, but a new starter - which I can install myself - costs about $40. FAS'ing saves me more than that in fuel costs each month.

I don't expect it to be much of a problem in the future, though. Most starters used by Toyota are good for around 17,000 uses, which should last me about 3 or 4 years. I'm still on the stock starter and it's 7 months old now
