I’ve heard that starting your car uses a lot of gas. So are we really saving on emissions with our cars constantly turning off and on?

7 seconds. If you’re gonna be stopped for more than 7 seconds, you should shut off the engine. It doesn’t just reduce it emissions, it saves fuel, too, which is a benefit for you as it means fewer trips to the has station. So, anytime you’re waiting in a fast food drive through or a really long stop light; just shut it off (unless your car is older than 1980 – then maybe go for 10-15 seconds as rule of thumb)

So…yes. we do
