Not once did the engine stall, the shaking is also much less than I expected it to be... to be honest, if it stays like this and doesn't give me any problems in the future, then I can honestly say I kinda love this feature.

And sure, you can debate how much fuel you're saving, or how much less pollution there is thanks to ASS, but imagine, if every single car had this function, and hundreds, if not thousands, of cars shut down while they're waiting in front of a light for several minutes, then this does give some savings. Even a child could figure that one out, it's not really about a single person with savings when every car has this, it's about a planet having savings. Think about this: you could throw away a penny, and sure it's only a penny, but if every person with a car threw away a penny, how much money is thrown away then?

you are right.
