   @calvaris @caitp people do it because that's what their cars automatically do, it's called start-stop system and is the next in the line of questionable ways to lower emissions in theory/measurement but not in practice, and ensure your car wears faster and needs more frequent servicing/gets replaced sooner

     @caitp what I had heard is that it does not consume more gas if the engine is already warm. If it isn't sometimes it does not do it. Anyway, I am not an expert and might be completely mistaken.

     doesnt cutting and igniting your engine at stop signs use -more- gas than idling for 15 seconds? why do these people do this
