Anti-idling question

Hahaha ahhh man look at it this way, they don't care about a human life so why would they care about a animale life?

 

I wonder when we will have to take out our oil furnaces from our homes? Is that not the same as running a truck to keep warm?

 

They're working on that with their cap and trade bs. Only to regulate us though, their homes will be fully powered.

 

Depends on the engine. To give you an idea a APU on a Blackhawk helicopter uses 100 lbs of fuel an hr. Figure 6.84 lbs per/gal of JET-A, at 100lbs an/hr comes out to around 14.75 gal an hr. The APU is a small engine. The larger the engine the more pounds per hr it will use then x that by how many engines on the aircraft. Just to give you a idea on what they burn. Your truck at idle may use around 1 gal an hr. I know CARB makes a big deal on your truck, never mind all the jets at LAX that have their APU's on for maint,cargo loading/unloading etc.... But its the way it is. CA thinks the truck is the root of all evil.

 

Thx for the info. I figured jets burned more fuel than trucks do but had no idea it was that much more! I wonder when the goobermint will attack the airline industry. I would pay good $ to see a CARB officer write a ticket to the pilot of a 747! I probably shouldnt give them any ideas.

 

CARB wont do that. They will look at a pilot as a human. Remember you a truck driver CARB and the rest of the CA gooberment looks at you like your a POS...... Welcome to CA, How may we bend you over today ? Oh yea...how much cash is in your wallet.

 

To get around all that anti-idling crap....stay out of the service areas...and keep ypur lights off at night. that may keep them from banging on your door. If it was me, I would idle to stay warm/cool...to hell with the anti idle laws.
