The city test does include idlomg.ing.
City cycle

Trip length: 11 miles
Test time: 31 minutes
Number of stops: 23
Time spent idling: approx. 18%
Maximum speed: 56 MPH
Average speed: 20 MPH

With 18% spent idling,it appears that cutting off the engine probably could have a significant impact on the final number.
