Saving fuel is one thing but at the expense of polluting more than 10 cars is another.
This is not as bad on newer cars as they monitor cat temp as you drive and on a restart it goes into relight mode and dumps a ton of extra fuel and pulls timing to light the cat again.

Can't that also clog up and ruin your cats as well?
