Did some testing with my truck as to the "difference" in the amount of gas used at every stop light, sitting there in "N" or "D", and it IS noticeable... If memory serves it's like 3 cents per light difference, NOW most people here will laugh at that, but wait a minute... Depending on your drive on a specific route, it could be 10/20/30 lights... 30 cents, 60 cents 90 cents a day, 365 days it can work out to, $109. $219., $328., for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING... Seems like a win to me. JMO

I kind of agree, seems kind of useless... BUT, "if" it "actually" put the tranny into "N", held the brakes, and when you touched the go pedal, & it would just go, like it was still in "D".... THAT would be a good thing. IMO Did some testing with my truck as to the "difference" in the amount of gas used at every stop light, sitting there in "N" or "D", and it IS noticeable...

I drive my wife's Subaru more than my truck and use the feature quite often on her car, it's not one time messed with my muscle memory when I am driving my truck or any vehicle without it. As I said previously its my favorite option on my wife's car. Everyone is different though, so I can see your concern.
