Idle your car 30 minutes and you will waste 1 gallon of fuel.

People here in the South do it all of the time.

My neighbor will drive his huge truck up in our driveway leave it running and come sit on the porch and visit for half and hour or longer.

If it is a diesel, he is just doing the normal things you do with a diesel.

Aside from waste, think of the smell! Why does he do it? Why do you let him?

In some places around me it's actually illegal to idle your car, and you can receive a pretty hefty fine if you get caught!
