Folks,
Just curious, what is the lapse time from when a car becomes stationary to the time the engine turns off?

Reason I ask is that living here in NYC, would the engine continuosly shut off because I am sitting in normal stop and go traffic found on the Gowanus expressway or traffic entering one of the tunnels?

My experience has always been that the engine will use more fuel do to continuosly starting the engine.
Hhmmm have I always been wrong?
