I've wondered about that. Why do bus and coach drivers leave the engines
running when there's no need for it? Apart from the fact that it doesn't
do pollution levels any favours it must cost their company a significant
amount in fuel costs over time. Diesel engines these days are not hard to
restart so they can't use that reason any more.
