When driving in city/commute. Are you using the start/stop for the engine to stall when you are stopping or you always disable it. Some mechanics are telling me it could cause problems to leave it enabled.

It really depends on the car. The mild hybrid stuff in the BMW and Mercedes are really good these days, allowing coasting and engine shut off at low speeds - all the way to a complete stop where it’s just regular stop start, at highway speeds and it is completely imperceptible except for when you come to a stop but suddenly need to move forward before the speed reaches 0. Implemented right, it is really completely invisible and helps to save a considerable amount of fuel. Audi’s stop start is atrocious - it kicks in violently when restarting, shuts off with a shudder through the chassis and does not provide any boost off the line like the other 2 brands do.
My friend changed from a 520i F10 (18") to a 530i M-sport G30 (20") and he went from 50% a tank a week to 25% a week. Granted, the G30 has a slightly larger tank but it is only by a few litres.
