Not just the starter but it fucking eats up your batteries lifespan.
Before I got an aftermarket device to override the auto stop, I would have to replace my interstate battery after just 1.5 years. At the exact same car previously with virtually identical features but no auto stop and the battery would last me around 3 to 4 years.
Now that I've shut that crap off the battery I've had in there is lasted almost 2 and 1/2 years.
It's not only a useless feature that really doesn't save any gas in itself, it actually raises your carbon footprint by wearing out other parts.
It's hard on all the engine internals to have that many oil pressure ups/downs in one drive cycle. Just like how cylinder deactivation seemed like a great idea...until it wasn't. Turns out combustion engines wear better when all cylinders are combusting while moving, isn't that crazy?

Yes, cylinder deactivation has been an absolute engine killer. It needs to go away!!!
