But I thought turning off the engine was better (mpg-wise + wear and tear) over idling for more than 20 seconds or thereabouts... I turn my engine off at the traffic lights that I know are going to take a while.
As far as I know the longevity of an engine is affected by the number of "cold starts", but starting the engine after waiting at the traffic light for 90 seconds can hardly be classified as a "cold start". |
