I can't help but think that the extra wear and tear from start/stop cycles will end up exceeding the value of the fuel saved.

- gambiting 7y agoPeople always made that argument, but seeing as S/S systems have been in use for at least a decade now and we're not seeing catastrophic increase in rates of alternator/starter failures, I'd say that's not true. And it's not about fuel savings for me at all, it's just nice that the engine shuts off in traffic, it's quiet for a moment while you're standing still.
