✅ Yes, idling wastes fuel significantly.

AC + idling = 0.6–0.8 liters/hour

Common in:

School vans waiting for children

Ride-share vehicles between bookings

Idling also causes carbon buildup inside the engine over time.

➡️ Educating drivers to turn off engines during long stops can improve fuel economy.
