I dont understand your question at all.

turning your car on VS leaving it at idle.

which take more gas? WTF is that supposed to mean?
if you turn on your car. it's on so it will idle
?????? explain

BTW: you said "turning ur car on?.. or leaving it at idle just waiting"

turning your car ON and just waiting.. i think it's same thing.. wha wha...

you must mean turning OFF the car and wait or idleing and waiting.

answer. turn off your engine.. it's not good to let your car idle for long

I don't think it will do anything bad if you let it idle for a couple of min....Hours might do some damage.

Stats show that turning off and on is better on gas and environment. Truck drivers leave engine on because its diesel.

I dunno about that. When we had the smog patrol down here, they always made us leave the car on while we were waiting. When you start your car, you end up shooting out a lot of un-burned gasoline. Not to mention it's more wear and tear on your engine to turn it off and restart it. I'm not sure about saving gas, but if it's only for a few minutes, leaving it on is definitely better.

See, what I do is..I turn the car on, then I let it idle for a second or 2, then I drive off. Then, later when I notice the gauge is almost at the "E" mark..I stop at a gas station and put more gas in the tank. In fact, it is for this very reason I purchased my vehicle.

mellow down there tiger. i was just making a joke, no flame intended. geez, people on this board are so damn touchy. but seriously you really need to settle down if a simple joke by someone over the internet is going to set you off. i can imagine how you would react in person.

I let me car idle for 2 hours! reved the engine every now and then. Just so the paint would harden on the valve cover that I painted....So 10 mins idle wont hurt.
