Myth: You’re better off letting your car idle

Fact: Idle for 30 seconds if you must. Longer than that: Turn it off. Also…letting your car idle might be illegal, so there’s that, too.

Myth: But you should idle your car in cold weather before driving

Fact: Turn it on and go.

Myth: You should always drive with the windows down/AC off to save on gas

Fact: On the highway, do what feels most comfortable. But around town, try to drive with the window down. Your hair will be a mess, but you’ll save some gas.
