a couple observations from my own experience,

I don't key off, have kill switch.

engine doesn't rev up on start (neutered idle control)

90% of time I bump start anyway

my starter cost $60 to rebuild after 120k miles.

am polluting zero at long stops and when coasting.

not really sure the sensationalized title is all that accurate. You have to have controls and reflect what people are actually doing to have a reasonable test.
