Why? Fewer cars into Manhattan means fewer cars through the boroughs. And even if they all diverted, you’re still looking at less idling and less stop and start braking.

Not necessarily. I use my brake far more in stop and start traffic on the highway than I do in Manhattan.

In the city stop and start is primarily determined by traffic lights, which are predictable, rather than the traffic itself.

In my experience it's unexpected incursions, whether that be cars changing lanes, pedestrians stepping off the sidewalk or food-delivery bikers yeeting themselves into an intersection.
