Same here, I understand it is battery management but it does appear a bit random some times.

The resistance to ASS is probably more because the default is ON. If users did not have to think about it then they would not bother. It is a good system I use it all the time - along with Auto Hold. I paid a lot of money for this technology and it seems silly not to use it.

It does work and does save money, it is just the cynics who seem to make the most noise. With diesel at nearly $8.70 for a US gallon (£6.50 for UK gallon), then every saving helps!
