Please turn your car off until the line moves. It will save you gas and money as well as reduce the pollutants your car puts out.![]()
so you're saying turn it off and on every time the line moves like 20 times before you get gas?
sorry but im pretty sure thats gonna make it take a bit longer and waste gas on startup.

true. I think its every startup used 2 min of idling gas.
Starting a vehicle uses more gas than idling I believe... I could be wrong though.

If you have the car turned off for any longer than 10-15 seconds and you are actually saving gas. Most of those lines don't move but about once every few minutes.

Good job on the facts, but i still would not go through all the trouble to save some 20 cents or so.
Think about hybrids. The ICE is shut off for longer periods of time because of the electric motor to propel the car, but it is because of the time that the ICE is not running that saves gas. This has also been researched many times.
I'd take back that neg rep if I could, but don't bash things you don't know about. It may seem like a trivial thing that would only save you a couple of dimes, but I've seen some of the lines around Cobb get to the point where you will be in line for 45 minutes. If people did this while in line it would save a significant amount.

Putting wear on your starter is a MYTH. its gonna get shutoff and turned back on anyway.

I'll leave the car running, since I drive a civic anyway... so not much gas is gonna be wasted..
But I do love the tards driving all slow as sh!t thinking they're saving on fuel when most of the times they're burning more

My friend's dad went to a VW dealership to get the new diesel Gti. There were a bunch of people waiting in line to get them, so he just jumped ahead and wrote a check for 25k. My dad asked him why and he said "I cant ****ing find regular anywhere" LOL. That's baller status.Originally Posted by Blitanicle99
$3.86 or .68 cant remember but i think it was the latter(or it was when i left eastman), so what you got to say about your diesel?Originally Posted by Blitanicle99
