What amazes me are those people who are standing in line for fast food or a bank, and who keep their engine idly. If you are in line for more than a minute, its better to shut your engine down. I do it all the time now but I see people letting their idle for 5 minutes or more........they are simply burning gas for doing nothing.

I was reading where one car company is selling cars that go into a shut down mode after idling for 10 seconds or something... can't remember which company or model it was.
