Turn it off for a shorter time and you haven't, but not everyone knows that. I would find it odd if people turn it off for 1-5 seconds (knowing that they're gonna have to turn it back on again), though, but longer than that I'd say they're just trying to be eco friendly. | |

| Dec 5, 2013 at 16:24 | comment | added | stevvve | Even when stopped for... 10 seconds? In a situation where you know you're going to start it right back up again? How is it good habit? To my knowledge it's actually a waste of gas to stop then start it right back up again. | |
