he then asked me ano daw ba problem dun. all i can answer is high gas consumption. he said, di ba it only matters when the car is standing still? pag umaandar naman na daw, it's the same for all whether the idle rpm is high or low. kung madalas daw naka-steady (sa traffic etc), then saka lang daw magma-matter yung high idle.

di ko siya masagot because it makes sense to me.
It is wear and tear for nothing, there is just no use for it (high idle)

sabihin na lang natin na mas mabilis ng 20% ang pagtanda ng car nya when idling.
