Bredayaris,
Thanks. Wish we were given some of the same options that the rest of the world is given in terms of engine design. Gas prices are going north everywhere, so perhaps this will allow more options for Americans in the future. There are those of us who would be eager to buy ever increasing fuel efficient cars if they were only offered without having to rely on the hybrid technologies that are being shoved down our throats. Seems like this start/stop system is a real winner..... |

Nope. Independent testing shows little or no improvment in fuel economy. Sounds like a good idea, but in practical use its a non starter.
