But, if I understand your post correctly, that would depend on how long you would be idling...I think. I usually turn my motor off if I know I'm going to be sitting for longer than 30 seconds. Less than that, I just idle. Once I get the 'guino calibrated, I'll have to try and get some semi-exact numbers to back up the theory.
