It might or it might not. My car doesn't wear out when it's switched off. Thinking about it, most of the new semi's that collect our grain switch themselves off now too. In some places it's an offence to let your engine idle in traffic. Road diesel here is over $6/US gallon at he current rate of exchange and it's been much more expensive than that. |
