<span class=bodytext>Would you drive a car that gets zero miles to the
gallon? Of course not. Yet that is your mileage whenever your engine idles.
Idling wastes money and fuel, contributes to air pollution, and generates
carbon dioxide emissions that cause global warming. Some states even have
laws limiting the amount of time cars can idle (see the related links).</span></span></font><font

style='font-size:8.5pt;font-family:Verdana;color:#333333'>Unfortunately, many
people believe that idling is necessary or even beneficial—a false
perception that has carried over from the 1970s and 1980s, when engines
needed time to warm up (especially in colder temperatures). Fuel-injection
vehicles, which have been the norm since the mid-1980s, can be restarted
frequently without engine damage and need no more than 30 seconds to warm up
even on winter days. </span></font></span><font size=2 color=black

style='font-size:8.5pt;font-family:Verdana;color:#333333'>In fact, idling longer
than that could actually damage your engine in the long term. Because an
idling engine is not operating at its peak temperature, the fuel does not
completely combust, leaving residues in the engine that can contaminate
engine oil and make spark plugs dirty. Excessive idling also allows water to
condense in the vehicle’s exhaust, contributing to corrosion of the
exhaust system.</span></font></span><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span
