Stop-Start systems are the low-hanging fruit of city gas mileage, but like many fruits, they can be an acquired taste.

With discussions of raising gas-mileage standards beyond the 34 mpg they'll reach in 2015, there's a lot of shrieking about how we'll all be driving subcompacts if the rules get any tougher. Hogwash.
