[Vwdiesel] fuel consumption during idle?CCCcccold here !

[Shirley, Mark R]

Diesels consume VERY little fuel at idle.  No pumping losses to 
speak of, and it doesn't take very much power to just spin a crankshaft.
BUT, and it's a big BUT, you will not be doing any favors to your oil
by running the engine that cool for a long time.
