Stop-start technology would save fuel in a huge way, but as I understand it, cars fitted with stop-start don't show any increased EPA mpg numbers, due to the way the test is carried out. So few vehicles sold in the US have stop-start.
Whereas, in Europe, the official emissions figures are arrived at using a test which gives an advantage to stop-start, so you find it being fitted to more and more new cars.
