That is 100+ Hypermiling Tip number 76. Cannot believe I missed that!
The I2 forces me to select Park before I can restart it, so I'd rather not kill the engine when the red light outlives the shortish AutoStop and the engine restarts. In N it idles unloaded, no doubt using less fuel and causing less wear than in D.
Thanks for teaching this ignorant Dutchie
