    i used to turn off my engine during long-ish waits.
    i figured, if 30 seconds or more waiting, i turn it off.

    so far, after 13 years and over 124K km, ok naman engine.
    but i had to replace my battery more than twice as often as my other car's, whose driver did not turn off the engine during long-ish waits as i did.

    fuel saved is probably 2x the cost of the battery? breathing fresher air lessened copd too...

    i haven't really sat down and computed it, but i tell you, it gets pretty warmer in there, with the engine off.

    For me this is the hardest part of doing this (turning off engine for long waits), especially with our weather here in our country.

    I usually turn off my engine during stoplights more than 2 minutes. Tiis tiis lang sa walang aircon :D

    When I visited Japan, most ng cars dun hybrid and naka idle stop/start system.

    Kapag sa stoplight, madidinig mo halos lahat mag start kapag go na sila hehe.

    Kaya okay dun kahit sa city sarap huminga.
