Can someone shed light on why some people will leave their cars idling for long periods of time?
I've seen drivers leave the car running for up to 15 minutes while they talk to someone, watch wild animals on the side of the road, check out the waves at a surf spot, wait for road work,or go into a store to get something.
It certainly can't be the effort required to turn the key. I'm guessing either they believe it takes more gas to turn off/on, or it just doesn't cross their minds.
Why do that do that?
