[QUOTE=filthyg35]my car idles at 1100-1200...I sometimes eat out for lunch and stay in my car with the AC on probably for 45min or so and I don't see the gas gauge move at all...
This a BIG waste of fuel..
why not go into the eateria and do your munching there.. any time the car idles for 2-3 minutes while stopped in traffic etc, its a lot more efficient to shut it off. conserve energy, there is a limited supply.
This a BIG waste of fuel..

I've complained a freaking thousand times to my dealership that my car feels like it's "Misfiring" when sitting at red lights. The "Twitch/Bump/Small Knock" has always been there. I NEVER put in anything less than 93 octane and mostly from "higher end" stations like SHELL/CHEVRON (w/ their cleaning detergants etc etc).
I've always thought that when I finally get around to having the plugs changed, this *MIGHT* finally solve that twitch issue.
Has anyone else heard of this or experience it as well????
Thanks Guys!

i just started to notice the clunk or twitch when sitting still, ive heard of this before and they said it was the low octane, but like you i always have high end 93 octane in my g... this happened alot in my accord when i put the acura cl type s motor in it, but i could make it go away, or sound worse, with my apexi vafc.... im going to try the plug change and see if that helps, i do have 71k miles now, but in my accord i had brand new plugs and it still did it
also i get stuck leaving my car runnin quite alot and also i eat lunch in my car with the a/c on full the whole time. Havent seen it drink gas @ idle but my gas gauge does what it wants!!!

I've never took it to the dealer cause i thought it might have been normal.... I too put only 93 octane. My dads F150 does the twitching thing real BAD!! You definitely feel the earthquake through the car. I think cause its a BIGGER motor.
