Looking for an easy way to save money? Be “idle free!” Using your auto stop-start feature can reduce fuel consumption by as much as 8%. With gas prices hovering around $5 per gallon, that adds up fast! For more on this, check out this article by Road and Track.

If your car does not have the auto stop-start feature, simply turn off your car’s engine whenever you’ll be waiting more than 30 seconds, other than while in traffic. Idling happens while waiting for curbside pickup, picking up kids from school or activities, going through a car wash, or meeting someone at the BART station. Reducing your idle time will save you money, save gas, and help Spare the Air!
