Original Note:
Engine Auto Stop-Start is not "terrible on the engine" and does not cause excessive wear and tear or oil degradation. https://www.brucebrostire.com/is-the-auto-stop-start-feature-bad-for-my-engine Engine idling consumes significant amounts of fuel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFImHhNwbJo Idling the engine for 10+ seconds consumes more fuel than engine restarting. https://afdc.energy.gov/files/u/publication/which_is_greener.pdf
