Can't remember the exact figures but to be honest there isn't much point turning your engine off unless your stationary for a LONG time. It's something daft like you use the equivalent of 20 minutes of idling petrol just to start the engine.
When the engine doesn't have any load on it you use
all fuel

all fuelMy battery went kaput on me, with no warning (wouldn't even idle without stopping) and I ended up getting a push from some police, because I was causing a long tailback
Bit embarrassing, but after a year or two of therapy I'm over it now

The tiny battery is probably on its way out.
I assume it's the car's first and it would therefore be over four years old.
In the bad old days, you'd be lucky to get three years out of a battery.
