Re: How long can car idle on a tank of gas?
Well...

I'd say minimum would be 3-days on my Jeep. (Inline-6 4.0, 90 amp alt at 14 volts)

Think how much energy is needed for your vehicle to travel one mile - and on a tank of gas I can get about 300 miles.

I wouldn't worry about it...(just don't draw too much power...)
