I have a 2004 Honda Accord, that is manual transmission. It runs fine when the engine is on, but when I turn off the engine to conserve gas, and sit and listen to the radio during lunch, about 10 maybe 15 minutes later, everything goes dead and I need a jump. Is that the battery or the alternator?

I pulled up at the bank today and the vehicle actually turned off his vehicle while completing his transaction. I figured I was sitting there for about 5 minutes from start to finish. Should I turn off my engine to conserve gas or does shutting down the engine and then restarting use more gas then I would conserve?

I’ve heard from many people that one of the best ways to save gas is to turn off the car while idle at a light. I would only do this for those long lights in our town that are two minutes.
However, isn’t it AWFUL for your motor to keep turning off and on? The car is a 05 Camry, and we have an Accord as well- not big cars.
Any tips?

I’ve heard it can cause problems trying to re-light it in the fall but it really doesn’t make sence to me. It takes gas to keep the pilot light going and in turn that builds up some heat. Is it a good idea to turn of the gas shutoff or not? Also, wouldn’t that help conserve gas (even a small amount)?

Yes, with fuel injected cars – you save money on gas by turning the car off anywhere you would be sitting and idling for any amount of time, but if you were to do that at every stoplight, you’d probably burn out the starter and/or ignition switch a lot sooner and it would probably cost more than you would have saved in gas with parts and labor to get it repaired.

when you’re waiting for someone and it might take them a minute or two to get in the car.. does it conserve more gas to turn your car off for a few minutes then back on.. or to just sit there with the car running?
