Auto Start/Stop Delete Now an Option

[RaptorND]

Yea I’ve seen a sticker with the auto stop deleted. But with 35s. The mileage is rated higher than what yours shows.

What's strange is I've got 35s with the auto stop-start deleted and it shows the same mileage rating as that example with the 37s. Overall, anyway.

Here is the comparison from the EPA site. The first two have auto stop-start and the last two don't (see specs tab):

I checked Shop.Ford site today. I noticed that after my build was pushed back from this week to the week of 10/18, the Auto-start/stop Delete has been removed.

Looks like I will have it after all.

They must have it out for you, did you hook up with Ford's sister or something?

When I was in college, we used to pull our football tickets. You could pull based on your academic year. My friends would not let me pull tickets because I always got tickets much worse than my classification should have gotten.

The rumor was that their was a picture of me in the ticket office and instructions on what to do when I get to the front of the line.

I think one of those ticket office folks now work in Ford scheduling.

Newbie question. I figure the start/stop was to be "eco friendly" or save gas, but really i don't it will matter much. I recall concerns like a decade or more ago when this feature started appearing in cars, about mechanical stress on the engine and drain on battery. I see pretty much everybody in forum here does not want it. Can someone give me more technical reasons as to con's of of this feature ? thx RW

I don’t have a strong argument against it, except: In my Subaru, which gets 26-27 mpg in mixed driving, last 1400 miles, Auto Start/Stop helped me save 0.43 gallons of fuel during 73 mins of stops (red lights). I am glad I could save almost half of a gallon, but I am extremely depressed and annoyed I spent more than an hour waiting for green lights

Edmunds has a good article:

I live in AZ summers. Ford can shove their start/stop feature up their booty
