What's the fastest you've gone while in auto-stop?
A couple of weeks ago, I slowed down at a stop sign and my engine auto-stopped. I usually do not AS at this intersection, because my car was not warm enough. Anyways, this day it was already warm, and I rolled through the stop at about 5mph. I turned right, going downhill. I got up to 20mph without taking my foot off the break, staying in AS mode. (I had to slow down at the next stop) I know this is no different than being in EV-glide gas wise (EV glide is probably better, because you can regen if slowing down), but I was just curious if anyone else has done this, and what speed they have gotten up to. I have some pretty steep hills in my neighborhood, so I may do some experimenting just for fun.

Downhill in city driving during rush hour just after a traffic light, I got up to 35 before I had to turn :)

Wow, Yangsta!
I've gone up to about 20 on multiple occasions, but rarely any more than 20. |

I got up to 25 once - it was a traffic situation on a hill I drive everyday. There was some construction because there is almost never traffic here. When I finally let off on the brake - the transition was quite rough. Like you would expect if you were trying to start a MT car by rolling down the hill and poping the clutch.

Save your transmission guys! Don't do it!;)

I felt that clunk once before. I didn't like the sound or feel of it. Haven't done it since.

Or slow back down to under 5mph before letting the gas engine kick back in. That's what I do. You have still overcome inertia (you're rolling), but you're not killing the tranny.

I got it up to 29 today. I slowed to a stop and then let the engine turn on. No clunks :D
