Didnt the owner of this site or cleanmpg drve a crz and get triple digits for mpg?
Darrell Cosgrove?
The newer insight has the same flaky auto stop. I use to deal with ferrys and rail road crossings, so I would just use my key to turn the engine off and shift to nutral and turn back to the accessory postion and have the fan on, radio, wipers, etc. Then when the train had cleared or the ferry was loading or a long light has turned green I would crank up, shift to drive and go.
You may want to join a crz forum, think you are the second one here with one.
