Switch off your engine to save fuel and emissions
The myth that switching your car's petrol or diesel engine off and then turning it back on is bad for your vehicle or uses more fuel isn't true. It may have an impact on your battery, but it is minimal and no reason not to switch off.
If you idle for 10 seconds or more, then turning off your engine and turning it back on does not burn more fuel than idling. So stick to the 10-second rule. If you're idling for more than 10 seconds, turn off your engine - particularly when your vehicle is close to other people.
Think that you or your ancestors know better, or just don't want it to be true? Fair enough, sorry to bother you. Can't believe it and want to know more? Read the GenLess story.
