Start-stop technology shuts down a car’s engine when it’s not needed, for instance, when it would otherwise idle, and starts the engine again when the driver accelerates. This simple fuel-saving solution has been available for years, and is a low cost efficiency improvement. The start/stop feature alone is enough to classify a vehicle as a “micro hybrid,” and can save 5 – 10% in fuel costs.
