If I had a 2013, I would always keep it off.

I currently get about 11 mpg (+/- 1 mpg), but I think the auto start/stop (A.S.S. ) is a BandAid on a bullet hole. I could be wrong, but I wouldn't tolerate the annyance for a few miles per gallon extra...
I actually don't think we are talking a few miles per gallon savings with start/stop. Likely a fraction of a MPG. But I did test drive a '13 650 with it and it's not really bad at all. And look at the bright side - got to be one hell of a heavy duty starter !!
