How Much Fuel Needed to Idle or Turn OFF / ON

submitted by bobknight33

How much fuel does engine idling use? Does idling waste fuel? How much fuel does it take to start a car? Do engine start-stop systems save gas? The truth about engine start stop systems.

Finally the question has been answered.
Will it change behavior nope.

Back in mid 80's I had a '66 Dodge Coronet. I got to work one cold and snowy day just a little early.

I sat in my car with the engine idling while listening to Pink Floyd on the 8-Track.

I went into work and forgot to turn the engine off. 8 hours later I was the only one whose car wasn't covered in snow.

It used just about a half tank of gas in 8 hours.

That's the price I paid to climb into a warm car.

tl;dw: starting the engine takes about 7 seconds of fuel.

THANK YOU.

Moving this video to bobknight33's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Starting/stopping the new engine in my Mustang takes about 4 hours of fuel. Not four hours idling my car, four hours idling a cruiseship. Four hours idling in my car would require 3 fillups.

God I love this engine...
