I test drove a 2014 E250 Bluetec sedan and it had the auto shutoff

Brake off - engine restarts.
A few years later, you need a new starter.
I was surprised, when shopping for an engine for my 2016-2019 Cruze, the
nearest one I found had already had its starter pulled and sold. I was
surprised anybody would want one already.
And yes, it's beefed up for start-stop.
The Cruze 1.4L burns about .28GPH at idle.
I seem to recall hearing that 1.6IDI VWs pulled about a pint an hour.
I have no idea what a modern CDI 3 liter consumes.
I suspect the main reason for putting start-stop in a diesel is to avoid
idling, which isn't good for the emissions system.
