Remote starters, how do they work?!?? [split]

@KrazyKid

do you have any idea how much gas is “wasted” sitting there?

ave duty cycle at idle is like 1-3%

Stock injectors in your truck are 21lb or 220.5cc/min * 8 (8 injectors) 1764cc/min

there are 3785CC per GAL

so my dumb math is telling me it would take 2.14 minutes to flow a gallon of gas through 8 injectors WIDE OPEN.

Assuming a 3% DC, I take 1764 * .03 and get 52.92CC/min at idle.

or it would take 71 minutes of idle to burn one gallon of fuel.

71 minutes costs $3.50, or 5 cents a minute

So letting it sit for 5 minutes to idle up to temp to toast your buns costs you all of $0.25 :lol

(there is way more number crunching to find the actual flow, but that’s gotta be in the ballpark i would think)

A penny saved is a penny earned, right?
