It takes less fuel than most people think.
- taeric 3y agoThis is almost certainly one of those things where the tech has moved on. It definitely used to use a fair bit of fuel to get started. Not so much anymore. Probably also depends on where you are? I'd imagine colder climates need to keep the engine running.
- bluGill 3y agoEven way back when it used a lot of fuel to get started, it only took a few seconds of engine off the make up that fuel.
- taeric 3y agoI've had cars need jumping from too many starts draining the battery, though. So, mayhap it was less the fuel and more the battery/starter?
