LOL - real scientific. A forum where people come to complain about systems. Yup, real accurate and scientific.

No meaningful benefit beyond helping the manufacturer meet EPA corporate average mpg targets. Added complexities and points of failures for the consumer.

I watched a lab test video about how much fuel it saves...It does do what it was designed to do do

But, I don't like the small delay between letting my foot of the brake and the truck starting. Drives me bonkers... Tazor to the rescue lol

I have tried to get use to the system but nah

You wanted a poll, so I made one. A simple, black and white poll.

It's been proven by Edmunds and other independent studies.

He didn't ask for scientific. He asked for opinions.

Mine is that I don't like it. I have concerns about the starting and stopping putting unnecessary stress on the engine internals. There was one Pentastar engine engineer who stated that the ESS was an engine killer. That could have been his opinion but I had mine before I heard his.

Manual transmission? I have no lag - by the time my foot slides from brake to gas it goes.

It's the foot stepping off the brake that triggers the restart. I figured that out right away and would take my foot off the brake a fraction before needing to move so the engine could restart. It didn't take me long to decide to always use the override.

And it's like asking people in a hospital how they feel.
How about asking forum members if they like Jeeps.
It's going to be totally skewed.
Proves zip, totally meaningless. Why bother?

Ask 10 people, get 10 opinions.

Why bother?

I suppose for the same reason we're answering.
Just because.

Stupid. If I wanted my vehicle to turn off at a stop light I would do it myself. Thank God for the Avenger button and the Tazer!

You wanted the poll. Now you don't want it. I made this poll for you and I'd appreciate it if you showed me a little gratitude.

I'm automatic...

Dislike, but I appreciate having a button to disable it so close to the starter button. Really, I can live with one more button to push.
