That sounds about right, especially with the precision control offered by todays fuel injection systems... If restarting a hot engine took a lot of gas (why would it?), then the Prius Hybrid would be getting terrible mileage because it constantly stops and restarts the engine, based to power demand requirements.. 2000 4Runner,V6,Auto,31's, Sliders, Skids, On-Board Air, Air Shocks Related Interests: Welding, Ham Radio, Road Tripping (Blue Highways), High End Video/Audio Systems Entire Thread Subject Posted By Posted Idle vs. Turn off and wait?
