What are the most common reasons for idling?
Warming up a vehicle is the most common reason drivers give for idling – in both winter and summer! We also idle a lot at drive-through windows, when we are waiting on someone, and when we wait at railway crossings, wait to park, run quick errands, stop to talk to an acquaintance or friend, prepare to leave the house, wait to get gas – even wait in line to get our car washed. All of these situations waste energy and produce needless greenhouse gas emissions – and they are all avoidable.
