The opposite: it saves fuel by keeping the car from burning it while idling. Edmunds tested it with an F34 328 GT and got like 9% better fuel economy.

Read the fine print: All three of our test subjects delivered the estimated 10 percent in city traffic. If you don't drive in city traffic the savings will be far lower.

I’m in the suburbs, and most if the time I can proceed immediately after stopping at a stop sign. I dislike having the engine shut off and restart for a second. I don’t do rolling stops, and don’t want to gently ease on the brakes to prevent AS/S from engaging. BMW has plenty of Kreskins in Munich.

Based on your usual driving conditions you shouldn't use it. That point has been made numerous times in this thread, starting with post #2.

Actually, if they added added a user-defined delay before the AS/S engages, it would be more practical for me. I would set it for one or two seconds. This way, I could stop at a stop sign and then proceed.

What are you talking about??? Your comment makes no sense. I hope your comment doesn’t indicate you are a left foot braker. That’s a whole issue unto itself.

So many people driving around Atlanta pooking at their phones. Drives me nuts. Although I work from home these days I would see some crazy stuff on 285

So dangerous… just this week I almost had someone run into me while merging off an on ramp because, *drum roll*, they were staring straight down at their phone 🤦🏾‍♂️

It is, but if every time a traffic cop saw someone holding their phone to their ear while driving they stopped them the word would start to spread. In Chicagoland there are virtually zero traffic cops. As with many things that are unique here with a metro population of roughly nine million I rarely see traffic stops. Way, way fewer than any other place I’ve lived.

Ah, that makes sense!! Now I’m a little embarrassed I didn’t think about a manual and a clutch. I’m so used to seeing left foot brakers around here driving around with their brake lights lit 100% of the time.

I’m now back in VA and the state police are much more prevalent so driving on I64 is a bit more tame even though the same issue of people texting and driving seems to be everywhere. “Let’s be careful out there!” |

I'd like to see some data on the effect of auto start stop on N55 rod bearings. It seems to me that dramatically increasing the amount of zero oil pressure startups is a very, very bad idea.
