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

I just skipped over most of this thread. What should have happened in the first place is an electric motor that assists the engine when you come to a stop. This is how: your engine shuts off if your foot is off the gas pedal for 10seconds. Then when you want to go again, the electric motor spins up the gas engine. so simple. Could have been done decades ago. would have saved millions of gallons. All they need to do is implement this for every single production car by 2010, since they are already in the 2009 run.
