    Daum I guess you do.
    I guess my post is a bit skewed as the hours are engine hours or operation..yet I don't ever really just let it idle..well in traffic I guess I do hahahaha

    Why do you have so much 'idel time'? I let mine idel fer a minute or two prior to shutting it down but oter than that I can't say I let it sit there and run...

    Here in the great white north idle time is high. besided if you are doing something that requires you to stop and go let her run it saves fuel.
