Trust me auto stop-start is nothing new, cars sold in japan have had it since the 1990s.
Finely time we got to get a little 1990s technology in some of these new vehicles.
Only time I visit gasbuddy anymore is when I'm feeling masochistic. The idiocy on the forums/comment sections there is way more than knee-deep; a guy could drown in it.

My '59 has "start-stop" on it right now- the idle screw has backed out and it stalls when I approach a stop. :P
