Idling is different now - Turn it off!

When I learned to drive, I was told it was more wasteful to turn off a vehicle and restart it than it was to leave it idling for a few minutes. I'm afraid I'm showing my age because thanks to efficient electric ignitions in today's vehicles, idling a car for just 10 seconds burns more fuel than restarting it. The facts are simple, and the solution is elegant! If your carpool is not into saving 40,000 tons of CO2, maybe they'd be into saving up to a couple hundred bucks a year in gas money. http://iturnitoff.com/
