You do realize that auto stop/start...was never mandated by the fed...right?
EPA Says It's 'Killing' Stop-Start, and Here's What Automakers Have to Say
"Start‑stop technology has never been federally mandated, and the EPA’s recent action removes regulatory incentives associated with it rather than prohibiting its use."
just logged my best MPG for one leg this am - drove home from the Denver Airport, 45 min drive - all freeway, lots of traffic so speeds were limited and some stop and go, got 17.7 for the ~30 mile trip.
My brother in law was sitting in Houston Traffic during rush hour going to work. He forgot to hit the button. He was at a light his VW wouldn’t restart. It took an hour for a tow truck to get to him. He said it was the scariest hour of his life. It took him to an auto zone he put in a new battery. He was late for a meeting at work. All for another useless government mandate.
