Hi All,
What's the info on the engine auto start/stop? Does it cause wear on the starter more than it should or is it, in wearing out terms, OK for the car? Does it hammer the battery or is it a non-issue? And, does it actually save fuel? I don't know much about cars, but I thought starting a car was a bit of a surge in fuel. More than would have been used while sitting for, sometimes, a few seconds? Whats the general advice? Does it save fuel? Or does it cause more damage/fuel/battery usage than it saves?
