How Does the Automatic Stop/Start Feature Save Fuel in Norman?

Every Silverado configuration includes standard Automatic Stop/Start technology designed to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption on congested thoroughfares throughout Midwest City. Whenever you come to a complete stop and keep your foot planted on the brake pedal, the engine automatically shuts off to eliminate idling emissions and fuel waste.
