Remember. You have two choices. The right wing of the government party or the left wing of the government party. Not a whole heck of a much of a difference. Both are pro tax and spend. Both are pro expanding government power. Both are pro security state. Both are pro spying on citizens "Just because". Both are beholden to big business. Both are anti-free speech. Both are anti-1st, 2nd, 4th amendments. They get to choose who you get to vote for. Get involved with your party at the grassroots level and be vocal. If enough people start to do that, then maybe the politicians will realize that their own party members are not happy with them and may not vote for them no matter how much money they spend. I have all my reps on speed dial and all the emails. I watch what they do and how they vote. It doesn't take that much effort.

As Dick Foster pointed out, you can thank overreaching Big Government "oversight" for such frustratingly annoying functions that you can't disable (without wiring in another, costly device). I also urge all auto owners to remember such invasive, ineffectual, ecological over regulation whenever you vote and vote accordingly. I also understand from multiple sources that this feature actually saves less than a thimble full of gasoline on every tank. It is literally meaningless, and only another "feel good" political manipulation.

Auto-stop-start helps cars get better numbers in the EPA lab test. That's all that counts.

Bullcrap.
Too many instances of battery failures.
I am capable of driving my own vehicle… not in need of a nanny.
I can afford the extra gas, I am not impressed with regulators and bureaucrats that are not elected… they are driven by their masters.

I don’t object to CAFE standards in principle, I just think auto stop/start is a monumentally stupid way to address them. If I were prone to conspiracy theories, I would really wonder if automakers came up with auto stop/start deliberately to get the public to lean on the EPA and Congress to back off. Deliberate or not, let’s all write to our representatives once the new Congress is sworn in.

Believe me, car companies don't come up with this kinda crap. To do something as stupid as auto stop requires gubberment intervention to put into place.

I believe you. I don’t buy into conspiracy theories anyway, although I did say, if the car companies did this, it was to get the government off their backs.
