Hello -

I don't mind it. I think that in the right hands, there is more than +2 MPG in those mild hybrids. I just wish there was a retrofit system for this "mod" so that I wouldn't have to turn the key to start the car at long stops.

My real problem is that currently, all the hybrid solutions being offered seem to be automatic transmissions. That's a non-starter for me right there.
