If so, I like that idea. I wished Ford would have done that in the FEH.
Thanks again,

It's a shame but the Escape uses the same method as the old Prius. The older Prius' did the same thing. One more area of clarification, only the 2006 Civic has the feature that allows idle stop when the AC is on. The earlier models of the Civic work the same as your Escape.
Also, I didn't see where you lived but here I can tell you the idle stop won't work if it's over 105 degrees outside. Here in Phoenix that happens a lot in the summer months. And I can also tell you the AC is a pretty substantial hit on FE in the summer.
