Idling Your Car

Did you know that idling for 10 seconds expends more gas than restarting the engine?  Every ten minutes you idle you put one pound of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.  Idling is pointless because you aren’t actually using your car but you are letting it run.  Prevent gasses from going into the environment, and save money by not idling.
