burning gas
I had nearly 3/4 tank of gas yesterday afternoon and now my gas light is on, i dont do very much driving it mostly is idling for period of times. How can i get it to not burn so much gas at idle?
Thanks,
Hunter

a few hours of idling? damn, your truck must hate you. i know i would, if i was your truck. i could understand for maybe half an hour in traffic, but longer than that id turn off the engine (even in desert heat), but a few HOURS? no no.... turn her off

i just started being sercurity for my company and i do turn it off i am here 14 hrs, but it has been cold the past few nights so i normally have it on long enough to warm the runner up, but i sometime just let it idle for a while, but never the whole time im at work. So i was wondering how i can get it to stop burning as much gas. Could someone help me out.

Wait a minute! Your in Texas!! Thats desert compared to here. 16 degrees is cold, 54 is NOT cold. I beg for weather to even get close to 40. Get a coat! I wear a sweatshirt all winter and I'm a lil cold, but I don't complain. And yes, idling is BAD for you engine for prolonged periods of time.

To burn less gas while sitting still, the engine should be "off." Simple.
