One Litre of Petrol Idle for How Long?

[Super7]

Considered current model w212, pre facelift.

 

 

Yah that one aircon auto off circulate inside, so in expressway suddenly i feel stink smell or exhaust smell, then i realize that circluate button off. Press again. Wonder how the merc designer design the car, probably they think the car will be used in germany or swiss alps with clean fresh air.

Occasionally my jap car aircon system also self cancels the recirculation n lets in outside air. Maybe it's a default safety / health thingy to do so in case the recycled cabin air, after too long a period of time e.g. long distance trip, has too low oxygen content which may affect the concentration of the driver?

It dont cost much fuel , if 1L per hr i deem its ok n reasonable. But the problem is its nt good right, for the aircon n also the engine etc

It's not good... for your wallet cause NEA will fine you. I don't think it will do AC or engine much harm while idling.

Somehow I feel the thread was created to find out the costs of ahem ahem field activity in the car

My car can roll down a gentle slope on free gear for 7 to 9 km at above 50kph. Does it consume the same amount of petrol as a stationary car with engine on for the same time.

I hope your car has a manual or a DCT gearbox.

If engine not on and your car roll down free gear, zero petrol consumed. However, such action may result in consumption of your life and/or other lives. The icing on the cake, your gearbox may kaboom.
