Title: Whats does it cost?.....
Post by: Taxi_Driver on 02 June 2009, 22:24:24

To leave a 2.2 diesel engine running idle??
Reason why? Ive been leaving it idling between jobs this week.....coz of the heat....it takes a while to get inside temp down if i turn it off.....even tho its got 4 air vents rear....lovely and cold if i leave the engine idling and aircon set on 18C  :y
I reckon about £1/hour roughly...but its only a guess  :-/
