I believe we will agree to disagree over stop/start, time will tell. Now to the emissions of (CO2) stop/start will prevent. Since the small rise in CO2 over the century plant growth has increased by upwards of 40% due to this increase, CO2 is a fertiliser, this is the reason we have enjoyed an abundance of cheap food and been able to feed the third world.
Unfortunately man made CO2 which forms less that 0.01% of the earth`s atmosphere has been blamed for the slight rise in the earth`s temperature, the rise is most likely due to that immense star called the SUN, its already warmed MARS. To get back to emissions, to counter this CO2 rise the greens have pushed bio-fuel, upps, it now appears the South Americans are cutting down the rain forests like no tomorrow to grow the stuff, and the north Americans have stopped growing wheat to do likewise, upps no food, no rain forests, dead Africans but plenty of bio-fuel.
Saving fuel is good but trying to reduce CO2 which is beneficial to all mankind is bad.
