hey who are you calling "toady" ?;-)
Yeah, that's why I like my current dichotomy. I have a super cheap electric Golf on lease that is wonderful for this stuff. Silent, no stop/start needed, torque up the wazoo, no gas savings required, peanuts for running costs or maintenance.
Then I have a 911 when I want the engine running and could not care less about MPG. It does need refilling annoyingly often though. The Auto start/stop is defeatable on the 911s at least till the 991
AFAIK... With the Wife's Audi it take serious reprogramming and still will not be defeated unless the AC is always on ? $%$#% ??? Or you have to drive in Sports mode which sounds good but can be a little rough at times and holds lower gears. So to defeat their silly mandated gizmo that saves minimal gas, you end up wasting way more gas by driving in sports mode all the time, than you would if it was defeatable permanently. That's "toady's cars" and modern tech for you ;-) Sometimes it's just silly !
