Does anyone know how much gas the 4.0 uses while idling?

Curious to see if anyone has figured it out yet.

 

I dont have that much time on my hands.

But recent consumer reports prevail that most vehicles use aproximately a 1/4 mile worth of fuel at an avg stop light. Take it for what it's worth.

Oh, Also they say avoid drive throughs, and try to reroute yourself for right turns only LOL. If only my daily life and requirements were soo predictible that I could plan everything around fuel consumption...

 

Ok so i'm going to attempt to do the math


.25 (x) = 18mpg.
1/72 of a gallon of gas sitting at an average light.
1 divided by 72 is about .013 then multiply that by an average gallon of gas. 4.60 x .013 = .059

So for the light it is costing us
about 1.3 percent of a gallon
and almost 6 cents!

 

i cant even believ this is a thread..

 

^^^ lol.

 

was it killing you to ask this question? haha ive only wondered how much gas is used when starting ur car

 

The ScanGaugeII has a read-out that shows gallons consumed per hour at any given moment.
