Its my truck my fuel and my money, if I want to let it idle all day I will. If it is really hot out and it get that way in AZ and I going into a store in is going to be idling with the AC on until I come out and if I lived where it was 0 I would let it idle with the heater on until I come out of the store however long it takes
x2!!! Here in the desert, you'd =never= get cool if you didn't let your truck idle while running errands. I have a remote start, so can let my truck idle and still lock it. My remote also has a cool-down feature that I can set for 5 or 10 minutes, IIRC. Never used it, as I'm usually with my truck and, when stopping, I'm at low speeds once I get off the highway, so cool-down isn't usually that big a deal.
