That's the whole point - you DIDN'T. You inferred EVERYONE should do it (post #2), whereas what you meant was that YOU do it.
Do try to keep up dear boy/girl/whatever.0 -
A discussion on a forum ain't gonna change the cold hard facts.
The cold hard facts are that literally everyone else on here, and most of the sources of information on the internet disagree with you.
I think at least, because you've even conceded that it'll save fuel if you're stopped for at least 8 seconds.
Turning off a fuel saving technology in order to save fuel doesn't make any sense. Turning it off because it's annoying is a totally different matter.0 -

So!!!
It like I should do a test - stop start off/on...and make conclusions from there!
Clearly things are not as straightforward as car manufacturers let you believe (not that I hadn’t realised this...but it’s just another case in point!)
Appreciate all the comments, interesting reading.0 -

Let's not forget that he even agrees some of his own sources are utter guff - until he's asked to be explicit about that, then he backtracks.
Every one here, well couldn't trust anything they say, that poor bloke the other week who incorrectly rented a car on the recommendation of someone on here is evidence enough that this forum isn't great for advice.:cool:0 -
So as long as the OP drives your route, at the same times of day, uses your car to do it, and replicates your exact driving style, he might save a few pence. Otherwise your results are completely meaningless.0

How on earth would you arrive at that conclusion? Glue? How about same mark, same kind of driving, the variable would be the driver and possibly the fuel? Similar enough to get meaningful similar results isn't it.
Your posts are become less comprehensible as this thread goes on. What does glue have to do with anything? And the rest of the post is just as peculiar. I can feel an Ignore coming on...0
