General Discussion

As does most everyone I've spoken to about it (granted, mostly "car guys" in Florida).

Personal experience, thanks car, but it's 100 degrees out so I'd like my a/c to run constantly. Oh, and I love the additional battery that needs replacing every couple/few years that's $500 in parts and labor (American car no less, my German auto enthusiasts are much less pleased). Also, I live in Florida (I know). These are the worst drivers on the planet. This means that far too many brain dead idiots, already on auto-pilot I might add) stop at a light at least 75 feet earlier or further back than needed, then slowly inch forward as the brain dead idiot in front of them eases forward. I don't understand this phenomenon, but I live amongst it. Anyway, there's two reactions these nitwits have with their start/stop: stay 75 feet back because the car is off, or re-start and stop 20 times as they ease forward time and again (you can probably sense the chain reaction that happens here).

Rant over.
