If you get 3-5 with an engine that shuts off when you reach a red light, count yourself lucky.

this, they claim the starters are beefier, but I bet they just cost 2-3x what a regular one would, maybe weight more, and all to save <~1% miles per gallon. it would be interesting to see some real reliabliity numbers with all these new cars automatically shutting off.
