Do not idle for more than 3 minutes or else..

Let's be serious for a second, idleing does waste about 30% of american fuel, if every yahoo out there didnt need their car to be 90degrees when they get into it in the winter maybe fuel would be a little cheaper now. And the old tale about it uses more fuel to start the engine then to idle is only true for 30seconds, so if you plan on idleing for more then 30seconds, turn the car off pleez. It's not as serious a problem here where are air quality is alot better then other places with mountains that trap smog, especially at elevation. It's a good law, just wait till they do start handing out tickets, I would give you a ticket if I could, I would also pull any dumb ass who smokes and throws their butt out the window over and give em a ticket which is another thing cops don't do enough of. How many forrest fires do you think are caused by cigarette butts? Now I am ranting

How about the government quits telling people what they can and can't do with their property?

I don't understand what the point in idling for 3 minutes is anyways.

I idle for three minutes in the cold winter months. I get in, let my car idle for about three minutes to get the oil circulating and then take off.

None-the-less I think its a pretty trivial law thats going to be nearly impossible to enforce.

I let it idle for about 1-2 minutes. Atleast you don't let it warm up for 20 min so it's 95 degrees inside.
