Yup... mine is off by default (VCDS) and I have not switched it on in the last 4+ years. Start / Stop is a waste of time unless you are stuck in a heinous traffic jam for hours. It really saves very little fuel based on all the reading around I've done, adds wear and tear to starter motor, battery etc., and is just a plain annoyance.
People can save more fuel by looking ahead and backing off on the throttle when they need to slow down instead of roaring up to intersections and slamming the brakes on.
