    I wouldn't turn off the engine if its 5 minutes or less..but if its more than that, i'd turn it off...its not just gas you are saving but your oil life, engine life, less pollution, etc.

    Pag diesel cguro pwde 10 minutes or more naka idle, pero sa gas engined car namin I switch it off pag longer than 5 minutes yung wait time... actually kahit 1 minute idle time pwede mo na patayin, pero more wear sa starter, batt etc...

    3 minutes idle then off, save fuel. better than 0 km/l.

    So, are you saying, i should stop my engine every traffic light coz i think they are more than 3 minutes from red to green.

    pano kung gusto mo magsoundtrip habang naghihintay sa parking? may subs so you have to keep it on right?

    my uncle-in-law owns a small auto repair shop. Installed an extra fan in his starex' engine bay and sleeps in the car regularly for hours.... heck even 6 hours or more pa yata.

    he even lets his 2 young kids sleep there too.

    btw, takaw disgrasya yung revving before shutting off, lalaki chances na tatalon yung timing belt/chain mo sa groove.

    AFAIK, starting your car is tantamount to idling for 2 minutes. so if you are waiting for more than 2 minutes... shutdown the engine.

    though it ain't that advisable in traffic lights...
