It's not about saving fuel, it's about getting the emissions down. If the engine isn't running at lights, it isn't pumping out gasses. It's the EU ! Wait till some bright spark suggests putting it on bikes......
When I bought my L/R last year, I had the option of one with the 'e-drive' as Landrover call it, same crap, engine shuts down when you are in neutral. Personally I don't like it. The same L/R with e-drive is cheaper road tax than mine, same engine !!
