Switching off engine at red light
Has anyone worked out how long you can be stuck in a jam before it is more economical to turn of the engine and restart it when the traffic moves again? Surely it can't take much petrol to start a warm engine, but how much idle time would this volume of fuel equate to? I've got a 1.4 litre carburetted.
Answers most welcome from people who don't know, are guessing, or who have not taken the trouble to work it out.

The engine starts again when the driver puts their foot on the accelerator. As Honda are being "eco friendly" I should imagine not a lot of fuel is wasted.
Well Calvesy, you invited people to guess and I have. No idea at all if it works. Just be a little embarrasing when the light goes green the engine wont restart.
