Idling instead of turning off car doesn't save gas anymore

| | Comments (0)

Apparently it's not worth it anymore to let your engine run when you are stopped instead of idling it. Modern fuel injection takes care of those problems, so just turn your engine off when you're going to be stopped for more than a few moments.

That was just one of the good fuel-savings tips in an article I saw on CNN this morning.

The list was one big duh (don't tailgate or drag race away from traffic lights and stuff like that) until I got to No. 5. That one was a paragraph filled with a bunch of old wives' tails about idling your engine that were contradicted. No. 6 wasn't bad either.
