    I think they proved that it's a myth and it waste more gas, idling the car than to shut it off.

    It uses more gas during start up (kinda like a spike) but not as much if you leave it running for a certain time.

    yep

    they say if you have to idle for over a certain amt of time, only then is it worth actually turning the car off.
