Hello I was wondering if you have thought of doing an analysis of the effectiveness of the start/stop device vs disabling it. As you know the Van is not fuel consumption friendly so it might help to see over the course of say a month of driving with the device activated vs a comnparable month with the device off. It would be interesting to see if there is a noticeable difference in gas consuption.
It would be hard for me to make a worthwhile test due to where I live. Auto start/stop I think is really intended to shine in busy city stop/go traffic. In my little town I rarely stop. My nuisance from it is because I back into driveway or parking spots. So when I go to shift from drive to reverse, the van shuts off and then immediately has to restart. Sometimes kinda rough because I wasn’t planning for it.
@@jtbrv23 Yes that is understandable but for me stop and go with 3-5 minute red light stops has to make a difference. Hopefully we will see more reasonable and stable gas prices soon.

Yes, that’s the ideal situation with long stop lights. That will be nice is gas goes down. We will see.
