Way to idle without engine power?
Do alternators harness enough power to potentially keep a 4 cylinder engine running at idle for a significant amount of time (~1 minute)? If no, are there other ways (aside from keying off) to limit fuel use at a stand still?
My buddy and I were talking about how much fuel is wasted at idle, and how this is one of the main advantages of hybrids.
