Remote start and gas mileage?

[BailOut]

The Yaris uses around 0.2 GPH idling when warm, but 0.35-0.4 GPH when cold. Let's say you use the remote start for 6 minutes each work day morning for a month. This represents 0.04 gallons per day, or 0.88 gallons for the month.

While that may not sound like much consider that you got exactly zero miles per gallon for nearly an entire gallon that month while you car sat out front belching all kinds of emissions into the air for nothing but your personal comfort. It is a waste of a finite resource, and a prime example of how much our desire for convenience can cost the environment.
