It also enables about a $4000 repair job (or worse, a new engine) when the engine throws half of the lifters and croaks, which they almost always do. Worst. Design. Ever.
very true... and not to mention needing a tow truck to get a dead car in for service. that all consumes energy... and then all the energy used to make new starters.... there's the distribution of all the starters all over the country to parts stores... all those trucks consume way more fuel that a car will ever save..... let's not forget to mention that more and more cars have turbo-charged engines... when your engine stop suddenly at the red lights... the turbo housings are very hot... when the engine stops so does the oil flow... those bearings will cook the oil almost instantly when the cooling effects of the oil stops. turbos are not cheap either.
Auto start stop on our crz enables 50mpg mileage

And without the auto start stop your car would get 48 MPG. You will never get a return on investment what you need to replace a worn out starter.
