Idling brings in some secret expenses. The truth is that vehicles that idle for a long time can generate serious revenue loss. The American Trucking Association states that:

1. A vehicle left idling can consume over a gallon of gas every hour.

2. One hour of idling by a vehicle everyday for year will culminate in approximately 70,000 miles of vehicle engine wear-and-tear after all associated factors are added.

This statement clearly shows the impact of vehicle idling for businesses with fleets of vehicles.

The chart below provides information on how much money businesses with fleets of vehicles could be losing because of idling, providing the fuel costs associated with excessive vehicle idling.

Gasoline Price= $3.00 per gallon
