Simpler yet, take off that energy-sucking power steering system and
replace it with one that is either electric or doesn't run the pump
at a high head continuously.  Ok, not simpler - but more effective I
think and doesn't have the weight penalty of having to have separate
starting and running batteries.

And simpler yet and probaby much more effective if you are city
driving - shut off the engine if it's going to be idle more than ten
seconds.  I think that's somewhere around the break-even point.

Yrs,
