DH was sitting in the car with the a/c on the other day waiting for me to pick him up (he had to leave his car at work). I told him not to do that and that there are laws against it.. but then I looked up laws for NYS and the only thing I can find is for large vehicles/diesel etc. Also in NYC there are laws against idling outside of schools (any size vehicle).
I thought I had heard someone tell me that in their state in the Northeast, that you couldn't leave your car idling for more than 5 minutes.
Any thoughts, or know what your state's rules are? I mean I think it would be great, obviously depends on the circumstances (emergencies etc), but no one seems to even know about these laws anyway..

Interesting. I found this while searching for my state. Seems like my state has the laws, but stupid "exemptions." One of them listed is heating and cooling.
My primary vehicle is a Prius, so when I stop, my engine shuts down. However, this weekend we went to a festival in our Xterra where we were stuck in line to get in for hours and I was amazed at the number of people who left their cars running the entire time. It's not that difficult to start your car back up to move 3 feet every 15 minutes.
