Our 16 Cherokee has it. It's moderately annoying but there's a button to disable it on the dash. While there's a setting to adjust the delay before it shuts down there's no setting to disable it entirely. I get that it saves gas but a trip to the gas station is a regular occurrence. No big deal. Gotta wonder about all those extra cycles on the starter. One trip to the shop quickly nullifies any savings there I'd think!

These "engineered" savings are not for the individual owners. The "engineered" savings are for fuel supplies being used up.

Americans don't need them though because the price they pay for "gas" is cheap.   Perks of being a #1 superpower.    :salute

Plus pulling out of climate deals means they don't need to meet any emission targets.    :aok

We have emission targets for clean air. The targets have nothing to do with climate.

the reason gas is high in your hood it is to force you to public transportation.  here public transportation sucks.  for example to go 2 miles north of me I have to take 2 buses.  I could walk it but it's a fricking 110 here.  so I am forced to use uber.  since I dont want to drive my car to go drinking and then drive home.

Doesn't 'dirty air' have an on effect climate?

I did not say that. I only stated that emissions limits were set for clean air and not for climate.

Things that affect climate.... co2 (plants thrive on this), moisture, oxygen, dust, radiation from the sun, volcanoes, solar winds, etc.

Don't forget direct heating from every single A/C condenser, vehicle radiator, light bulb.....etc.

I have yet to see this data included in "studies".......only C02.
