A V8 engine idling warm is wasting .5 gallons of fuel an hour. My old Insight would go 40 MPH on that same amount of fuel for an hour.

So would my bike.

13% of all the fuel consumed in the US is wasted idling.

Start it and go, you might as well cover some ground with the same fuel you are wasting right now.

Not trying to make any do anything except put money in their pockets, hopefully for a better purpose. Heck even buying Twinkies would be better.
