    i believe they didnt. what i do believe they did was discover yet another way to shaft the buyers of their vehicles out of money. one of the most stressful and wear-causing aspects of an internal combustion engine is starting it. its called 'engineered obsolescence' and is a thing. multiple manufacturers have been busted for partaking of such shenanigans.

    i researched this when i was looking into purchasing a new vehicle a few years ago and there was zero online information substantiating any other systems modifications relating to the unnecessary on/off-ing of the engine. the starter and associated wiring appeared no different than those on any other comparable vehicle.

    that sounds like some marketing ploy. every vehicle uses a different amount of gas while idled and for 'them' to magically pick any one number is suspicious. its not like car dealers/manufacturers have a reputation for reliable statistics on their vehicles performance numbers.

    that 12% would have to be weighed against the other related costs.

    and oil...and coolant...

    an engine running is circulating oil and coolant. shutting the engine off stops the oil and coolant circulating which has the effect of:

    - in a hot engine the core temperature will spike causing damage to various components, the most sensitive being non-metallic seals. stop-and-go traffic is the worst (after hill climbing) way to cause an engine to overheat.

    - in a stopped engine the lubricating oil has fallen back into the oil pan...or at the very least started dribbling back down towards the oil pan and ceased lubricating (and cooling) the upper parts of the engine. over heated valves really enjoy being asked to function for the seconds it takes between the time combustion stresses starts and the oil pump decides to start feeding them lube. the oil pressure sensor doesnt say jack or shit about what kind of oil circulation the valves are getting.
  5. 3.5- in a car the battery has died and theyre out in the boonies where the driver fortunately found someone who would jump-start their vehicle...then need to let the engine run for a sufficient period of time to charge the battery...then while theyre driving with the low battery and stop...and the engine shuts off...and there isnt enough charge to feed that starter...and...***price-is-right-buzzer***

    There is no need to be in such a rush

    this is why retards need to be involuntarily contained within asylums and eugenics needs to become vogue...yet another example of the mentally deficient running amok. like a dog getting hold of a chewy slipper to gnaw on and not letting go until its teeth are ground down into nothing-nubs. this is a poorly thought out and even more poorly engaged attempt by someone who came up with a stupid idea that should have been shot down but unfortunately another retard saw how chewy and yummy it was and decided to gnaw on it for good measure.

    1- to save about 25-cents worth of gas through the life of the starter the vehicle owner is going to have to purchase multiple new starters throughout the life of the vehicle. go call the dealership and ask how much it will be to replace the starter

    2- to save three or four ounces of gasoline over the life of the starter there will be several pounds of assorted metals and plastics that cant be readily 'recycled' when the starter fails. modern starters are not wound the same way as older ones that make rebuilding them as cost effective.

    3- this isnt even getting into the assorted ancillary issues that will present themselves during the excessive stresses on other systems caused by the exponential increase in duty requirements of the starter. one example is the electrical system over all. smaller gauge wiring in modern vehicles powering the starter is grossly inadequate to provide its actual power needs...which will result is various voltage drops causing issues with the complex, sensitive, and wholly inadequately insulated electronics. god forbid the voltage drop fries an external electronic device attached to the in-vehicle electrical system. (phone being charged...assorted cameras...OBDII devices (monitors...programmers)...GPS monitors of assorted types...etc etc, ad nauseum)

    4- this is boring now. in summary...bad idea thought up by retards.

    thats just his excuse for being hygiene-averse. reminds me of a little kid that says it cant take a bath because his toys might get wet.

    if he was that concerned he easily could have assigned one or more of his students to stand watch.

    weapons can be accessible in a bath or shower.

    youve watched way too much hollywood-j­ewry propaganda. no one is going to ass-ass'nate anyone on a massage table in real life.

    its more likely someone has a video camera fixed on that table
