OK, so here is another question. I just refilled my tank yesterday and I thought I might compare my gas millage of the last tank (posted in garage) where I used only moderate driving conservation to obtain what I got. This tank I thought I might try turning off the engine whenever I idle for more then 30 seconds at a light. Well the first time I did it after the gas station, I tried to restart the engine and it sputtered to life, but then quickly stalled out. I tried again with the same result, so on the third try I revved the engine for a second after I started it and it worked fine. I think the problem is, is me starting it with my foot on the brake, however, I usually start the car cold with the brakes on and have no problem...what might cause this to happen? In my mind it makes no sense since I'm not doing anything different there from what I do starting it cold when I first get in, and I think that revving it up like that might out way the advantage of turning it off in the first place. Any advice?
