How much petrol used?

st999

I have a 2011 Hyundai i10 1.2 litre car.
If it is sitting idling for 30 minutes, how much petrol does it use?

No idea to your question but, why would you sit there with the engine running for 30 minutes?

If you mean sitting in traffic....not a lot.......and if that's still to much for you.....you cant afford the car

Probably less than a litre.

btw it is an offence to keep the engine running whilst parked on a road- only do this on your own drive or if you are waiting in a queue, but if it looks like it won't move for a few minutes, you might as well turn the engine off.

During the war.....I had an Astra GSi with an instant fuel MPG and when idling it changed to litres per hour.  For a 1993 2.0ltr 16V engine 150hp it was around 0.3 ltr/hour from what I remember.  So 30 minutes in that would of been about half a can of coke.

In your 1.2 ltr car it will be considerably less.  Love to know why you need to know that though.

Don't let it idle for 30 min. Turn it off.

I never let it idle for 30 minutes a bloke at a garage did.
I took it to get some work done, he started the engine to move it and someone came and spoke to him so he got out of the car and left the engine running.
I went away for a walk at this moment and when I got back 30 minutes later he was still blethering to the other bloke and had done nothing to my car and the engine was still running.

You gonna charge him, or take it off the bill?

How much is 100ml of petrol out your way, here its around 11.39p.

 No, I just wondered how much it was

Best not get it MOT'd then it will run from the start to finish of the test.

I once accidently left a loaner running all day.
It was at the start of all this keyless entry and button start stuff where you popped a credit card type key into a slot in the dash and pressed the start button. (Renault Scenic from around 2005)

When I left it I just pulled the key out the slot, not realising it was still running.
I returned 8 hours later to find the car locked but running.
Odd thing was, I'd been doing the same thing all week. I must have left it running morning, noon and night for 5 days.

When I returned it and topped the tank back up it had used around £15 worth of petrol less than the Rover 200 I had the week before and I did the same trips but didn't leave that running 24/7!
