Agreed, but you sort of get used to it in time. Another attempt to reduce CO² and save the planet at your expense, but most manufacturers are at it. Possible saving for anyone doing lots of city driving, say 2%-3% of fuel bill which equates to €50 a year. However, this doesn’t account for additional stresses put on other components (starter motor) and thus reducing its life cycle and at a cost of five/ten times as much to replace including labour cost.
Similar to the eco-mode con (sleep mode) which purports to reduce fuel consumption by showing an arbitrary supposed saving, at the expense of reduced driveability.
