IDLING GETS YOU NOWHERE

 

 

 

If you are going to be idling for 10 seconds or more, turn your engine off!

Canadian drivers idle their engines for an average of 5 -€“ 10 minutes a day. Add these minutes together and that's enough time to keep one car running for 144 years! This needless idling means millions of litres of fuel, and therefore millions of dollars, are simply being burned away. Contrary to popular belief, idling your car will actually damage your engine! And in areas where excessive idling is common, around school zones for example, serious health effects have been exposed.
