How much fuel used at idle?
So, a 1.5L gasoline engine burns at idle as much fuel in 6.4 or 7 seconds to match the amount of gasoline typically spent to charge the battery enough to restart the engine. Years ago seven seconds was asserted in an EM thread, and it has been my rule of thumb ever since.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
