the ONLY reason GM used it was a slight (like .02 mpg) increase in fuel efficentcy.

So many expensive and very bad things were introduced into production chasing that CAFE MPG goal. The very worst of the worst is shutting off engines at stops. Heavier batteries, heavier starters, unreliable, expensive repairs and only of marginal value to city folk with lots of stop and go driving.
