I wish that I could EOC to traffic lights, but being an Auto and not on the list, I would damage the Torque converter.
I had read on another post that someone with at 1.5L had figured out the recoup of shutdown was 11secs. It would be great if it was only 4 secs!
I try to be smart about the shut downs, and today was mostly suburban driving and was able to see well ahead of my self so I could start coasting early, hate those traffic lights that jump yellow with no cars waiting. I made a few mistakes on the lights today, but did the same as yesterday tracking the amount of shutdowns and the time spent engine off:
26 Traffic shutdowns
15:51 total time shut down
11 sec recoup?(i'd really like to know the real number) = 286 secs
official time off = 11min 08secs
137miles driven today
