Doesn't it use more fuel to start an engine than to leave it idling?

[mrrodneyalong]

so a starter cost 630.00 dollars to install in the us on one of these vans. what is the expected life of this starter?

[R7I8P6Z]

it's a MWB... apparently the starter has been modified to make it more durable/long lasting despite having to work a lot more

[saxovtr2468]

the best van in the world i think

[counkev]

@Zeamus634 No, in fact it takes very very very little to no gasoline to start the engine.

[andrehellm13]

@SecularTechnology

dude you sound like a total faggot and your points are utter bullshit and don't even make sense...stop talking

[Hesam0000]

@SecularTechnology You have no idea what the F you're talking about!

[SecularTechnology]

@Hesam0000

Yeah, i'm sure about that. A Car manufactuer isn't going to F with your little craze for several vehicles. And FFS they don't sell vehicles to be sold or traded mid-year. How stupid are you?
