Re: Buick Encore 2017 with start/stop tech or none

Stop start system will save about 6 % fuel for most people. These car have a starter that is about 2X bigger than the older starter without stop start.
The system is designed to stop the engine when required criteria is met. So it will likely only stop the engine one time a corner even if you inch forward several times.
If the engine is cold, AC is on max the engine likely stay running.
Stop start system are here to stay. Most all cars will have this soon.
