  5. Facts • Every hour of idle time uses 0.61 gallons of fuel • Every gallon of gas produces 19lbs of CO2 • Every hour of idling is equal to 25 miles driven.

  6. Facts • Vehicle mfg. are now paying more attention to idle time vs. miles driven when it comes to warranty claims 1.5 hrs/day x 25 miles x 5 days x 50 weeks = 9,375 additional miles of driving Add up all of the extra maintenance costs

  7. Facts • You waste more fuel if you idle for more than 5 secondsthan restarting a warm engine. • More states, counties, & cities are adding anti-idling regulations every year. • You do not have to impact passenger comfort • WA has 5th highest fuel prices in the country. (AAA report)

  8. Features • Fully automatic • Electrical accessories continue to function with engine off. • Low battery voltage will auto restart. • Shut down inhibit input.
