For those who have the scangage. Is it possible to tell how much gas the car is using up while idling with the AC running?

Since it's hot outside and I don't want to disturb the little one's sleep, I might have the car idling for over 1/2 hr on occassions, just to make sure the little princess sleep isn't disturbed. The price for disturbing a babe's sleep is too high, so I'm not worried about the fuel cost, but it'd be nice to know.

Pars,

Please remember that the cost of burning fuel goes far beyond the price you pay at the pump. If you would like her to have a future free of the Arab stranglehold on oil - and the wars that come with it - we must cut back on our fuel usage harshly, and if you would like her and her own progeny to inherit a planet worth having the lessening of our usage and consumption of all resources is totally necessary.

With that said, you can use the SGII's GPH (gallons per hour) monitor to see the fuel usage at idle.
