Engine Idling is Costing You Money
Idling doesn't just waste fuel; it also wreaks havoc on your vehicles and the environment. So, put an end to idling—your wallet, your vehicles.
Engine idling:
- In larger vehicles wastes even more fuel than passenger cars.
- For just 30 seconds uses more fuel than restarting an engine.
- Is only fuel efficient for 7 seconds. Any longer and drivers should shut off a car.
- Leaves fuel residue that damages engine components causing higher maintenance costs over time.
