Thx, yes it makes a lot of sense
Auto Start/Stop is the way to save fuel indeed.
I use it mainly when I have to do a quick stop in order to not turn off completely the engine (like a quick stop under 5 minutes).
In Traffic, I’d say, it would depend of traffic in your aera.
Got surprised a few times on ECO while I had to start quickly to avoid car coming and throttle was squishy with no response lol.
So for me Eco is definitely more a highway mode than a city one as the throttle respond very slowly.
BTW I like your technic of switching modes on purpose for scenario like I’ve just described.
