I also started to disable start-stop every time I drive after it once fucked me. I came to an uphill stop just when the light turned green so the car decided to shut itself off. After that I stalled the engine in my confusion when trying to move. Long line of cars behind me of course.
This exists solely to game fuel efficiency tests, because the tests were/are designed with long periods of idling.
They basically added a feature that uses more fuel in 99% of real world scenarios, to beat fuel efficiency tests in a controlled environment, then greenwashed it as a fuel efficiency “feature”. Isn’t capitalism fun?
They knew the structure of the tests beforehand, and regulators haven’t changed the tests, because we live in corporate dictatorships masquerading as “democracy”.

Same with large trucks. Were made to avoid EPA regulations of smaller trucks, so just build bigger so the laws don’t apply.
