I have always been pleasantly surprised that my wife’s Outback doesn’t have it.
I have driven/rented some cars that had it, and I don’t like it although none of the cars that I’ve driven have been hybrids.

I think it’s a good thing for the huge bulk of the population that have or see their vehicles as appliances.

It won’t save one person an appreciable amount of fuel, but it’ll save a fair amount of fuel over the course of a year when you add the small amount of fuel saved per driver for millions of drivers.
