Comment as much as (Score 1) 289

"[America's] Environmental Protection Agency previously supported the system's effectiveness, noting that it could improve fuel economy by as much as 5 percent."

As much as. Where is that data? I claim it can reduce fuel consumption by "as much as" 99.99% If you are in 5 hour totally stopped traffic jam on I-5, for example. In real life, no one gets the EPA gas mileage, the EV "gas mileage" is a bogus number, and no one is getting 5% fuel use improvement from start-stop, not to mention that it adds cost to battery, starter, and alternator.
