The Idling Calculator

Calculate the potential impact that you and your friends would have if you reduced unnecessary vehicle idling.  This interactive calculator will help you determine how much fuel, GHG emissions and money you will save by cutting back on vehicle idling.  Simply indicate the number of drivers that have committed to not idle and the number of minutes per day that you think is reasonable for drivers to avoid idling. The calculator shows you the potential emissions, fuel reduction, and dollar savings that you can achieve!
---------
If 1 driver(s) of light-duty vehicles avoided idling for 5 minute(s) a day, this would:

• Mean each driver would save 42.34 litres of fuel, $35.10 in fuel costs, and contribute to reduction of 103 kilograms of GHG emissions, annually
• Equal to having 1 tree(s) planted to absorb GHG emissions
