Warming Car On Idle Seem To Chop More Fuel. Fact Finding by fineboynl(m): 8:04pm On May 31, 2023
For three days now I haven’t drive to go out due to been too busy and current fuel price.

So i result in warming my car every evening for like 3 days now and I noticed my fuel gauge drop significantly about 3 bars. I only waited for the thermostat to kicked which normally takes a lot of time to reach. The lost 3 bars can get me to somewhere not too far 3 times for like 2 days.

But today own was a thick plenty stem that started coming out from exhaust moment after thermostat kicked in. It was rain and everywhere cold. So it took longer for the thermostat to kicked. Today own drain my fuel chai

to the best of my knowledge, warming a vehicle on idle is a waste of petrol. It's better to drive around to let the engine oil circulate before packing again.

So I learnt.

If there is nothing draining your car battery when it's off, you can comfortably park it for close to a month and still have enough power left to start the engine.

Warming car at 600 naira per litre is a very expensive venture.

But seriously, why are you "warming" your car everyday?

Abi na Peugeot 504 you dey drive?

There are times I do park my car for five straight days without driving. And it picks up on the first kick whenever I want to drive.

If your car is healthy, the only thing that parking on a particular spot for a long time may affect is your Tyre.
