Day Six: Turned Off Car Instead of Idling
Heading back home from my weekend trip with my Grandmother and stopped off at a rest stop. I waited in the car for my Grandmother while she handled her business. Instead of letting the car idle, I turned it off.
For every two minutes a car is idling, it uses about the same amount of fuel it takes to go about one mile. Courtesy of The Consumer Energy Center.
