Is it better to leave the engine running while waiting for someone?

Is it better to leave the engine running while waiting for someone? Parang pag may bibilhin lang ung kasama mo for a while sa convenience store? Get my point? Usually kasi ganun ung nangyayari sa akin kpag mag stop by lang kame sa drugstores to buy something, nag aalangan ako kung dapat bang patayin ung engine or mas ok ba na iiwan nlng ng nakabukas.

Which is better and more fuel efficient?

for me if the wait is more than a minute better turn it off nalang .... save gas .... less pollution

depende sir kung gano katagal.

pero for SECURITY reasons mas advisable to shut off the engine and park. or if there's no parking, just leave the hazard lights on and hurry on.

[Dj]

okay.. thanks sa mga reply.

Naalala ko kasi ung cousin ko, he told me na mas maraming fuel daw ang nako-consume pag i-start mo uli ung engine. Is that true?

2nd. security risk at parking lots. save on gas if you should but if it's scorching hot just leave it on for the ac.

depende kun ganu katagal pero kun sandali lang like 1-2mins mas mabuti wag mu na off kc nabasa ko before sa isang better fuel efficiency info booklet na pag nag start ka ng engine katumbas na un ng gas consumption ng engine running na 1-2mins. pero stil ndi lahat ng nababasa ay totoo hehe pero feeling ko totoo so opinyon ko lang yan

[Dj]

@1_hot_z
Yea.. thanks for the rep! yun nga din ung point ko... IMO totoo un.. haha

Kung more than 2mins engine off na lng muna para di sayang gas.
