Yeah a lot of newer cars have "stop/start" engines now. It's more efficient - the "it takes more gas to start" thing is an old wives tale, there's absolutely no science behind it at all.

Yeah hybrids definitely do that. I noticed it on a hybrid bus. The engine stops in the back and then when the bus starts driving it makes a comical electric whirring sound and eventually the engine kicks back on when going up an incline
