Groovy Green Tip

Turn Off the Car...

I learned an interesting tip today. If you are going to be stopped in your car for more than thirty seconds, turn off the iginition. Thirty seconds of idling wastes more gas than 30 seconds of driving, because the engine is not operating at it's peak temperature, fuel is being burned much less efficiently.

And, duh, it produces zero emissions if the car is not on! Thirty seconds for one car on one day may not seem like alot, but think about that times the millions of vehicles sitting waiting at schools, churches, etc... idling everyday.

Every little bit helps!!!!!
