Agreed. I just calculated it today. A coworker of mine has a Jeep Cherokee. If she idles for 14 minutes (not including high idle startup) she uses more gas IDLING than I do GETTING TO WORK! Its very common place for me to pull into work to see her sitting in her SUV, engine idling, doing whatever before she goes inside. I go in, sit down and get settled and a few minutes later she comes in. The idiocy annoys me to no end...
