No and its not true when you take your foot off the gas while moving the FI system shuts off the flow of gas to the engine either. The engine idles when you do that and if the flow of gas was cut off it couldnt.

The thing on the Prius that shuts the engine off at a light and turns it back on again when you press the gas pedal doesnt save any gas either because it takes extra gas to start the engine.

What you CAN do is make a lot of money inventing something in your head that does that and people will believe it.
