Unfortunately, the U.S. version doesn't have the idling stop feature, but it seems reasonable that it can be manually operated by shutting off the engine at every stop longer than three seconds, and instantly restarting it. I mean, there's no starter to wear out, right? That may not be practical at night, since the headlamps go out when the engine is stopped, but otherwise... I think I will try it and see if the MPG climbs into the 100s...

ReplyDeleteJeff, the PCX engine's fuel consumption at idle can surely be measured in picoliters, which are the units of measurement for inkjet printers. I really think shutting the engine off won't gain you much...
ReplyDeleteHonda sez 7%... which isn't much, but why not try and see?
