The HAH I test drove last month will auto stop any time the car is stopped, regardless of whether you went 1 mph or 10 in between. Also, the A/C keeps running when autostopped (both VERY nice features). So, Honda has obviously figured this out. I don't know if these things are available becuase of the engineering differences between the two, or if some future HCH will benefit. I hope so.

BTW - maybe I'm alone but I don't fuss too much with tricking the car into autostop. I'll just run without the ECON button on hot days. My 60 minute commute is bad enough - I just can force myself to suffer any further. If it hits the mileage, so be it. I'm at the point where it's not worth 1-2 mpg to be overly pre-occupied with maximizing the car. Sometimes I just want to get home from work. :-)
