Don't get married, don't have kids. Then you'll save millions.

Die alone and sad, because you don't have a Z.

Happens all the time. Guys end up living in a shack, writing manifestos about overthrowing the government, and regretting the day that they sold their Z. It's happened to so many ex-Z owners that I've lost count.

Sad, sad story. Some of them end up at the end of their rope and make the wrong decision in the end.

You still didn't explain anything... I'm not sure why you question this, some new cars are doing automatic stop/start when you come to a complete stop for a couple seconds because it does save fuel if the engine is off long enough. I personally find it annoying and don't care to do it, but it does save fuel.

And note I did say "If your really ****..."

Seemed like it... hard to tell on the interwebs.

Anyway shutting off the engine is a perfectly valid way to save fuel if your waiting in line at a drive thru or waiting for your girl while she runs in the store. But the stop light thing is, well, for those who are really **** about saving fuel. In which case they should get a diesel and be done with it...
