Many new cars shut themselves off at idle and the owners don't even know it. A 30second discussion of the feature is out of their mind by the end of the 30 seconds and they sit at a light fat, dumb and happy having no idea where the engine it or that is has wonderful features that are saving the owner drops of fuel the entire time they are sitting at red lights.
