Will the car consume fuel if left idling for an hour without turning off the engine?

[DePaige]

Yes, the car will consume fuel if left idling for an hour without turning off the engine. When waiting at an intersection to pass, the parking time should be judged based on the traffic signal timer. If the parking time exceeds 1 minute, the engine should be turned off. Generally, the fuel consumed by idling a small car is more than the fuel consumed by restarting it. Here are some methods to save fuel for vehicles: 1. Drive at a constant speed: Control the speed of the vehicle while driving and avoid sudden braking; 2. Do not open windows when driving at high speeds: Opening windows at high speeds will increase fuel consumption; 3. Regularly check tire pressure to ensure correct tire pressure: Insufficient or excessive air pressure will increase fuel consumption, so tire pressure should be checked regularly; 4. Pay attention to transmission maintenance: Be sure to replace the transmission oil that matches the vehicle. Transmission oil not only lubricates but also transmits torque, so it should be replaced regularly.
