I have a green streak in me, so I don't mind this feature. I'm happy to save some fuel and keep the air a little cleaner. After 2 1/2 years, I really don't notice it anymore.

Appreciate all the insight. I haven't used it since.

I am testing it to decide if it is woth using for me. The firts tank using it, I got 21.75mpg (50%city/50%Hgw). Still im the 2nd tank with start/stop to average the two. Then will try two tanks without it. I will let you know how it goes. Of course this all depends on individual driving habits and city/hgw relation...

I like the concept of saving gas if I'm at a bunch of longer stoplights or in a slow drive-thru. But I keep thinking that it will wear out my battery and starter motor quickly... I coded it to default off
