I asked as, er, I wanted to know the answer - is that good enough? "Does it really matter?" Don't know really...what do you think?

It is a silly question - who gives a crap was a valid point well made

Maybe the OP just likes to listen as opposed to drive cars and wants to see how much cheaper it is that way, takes allsorts.....

By my calculations I'd say 39p.

If you leave your 430 at tickover in neutral you will get 0 mpg. If you drive it on a decent B road running it out hard in the gears, braking late and pushing on you will get around 8mpg. It is therefore more economical to drive hard and get that engine screaming than to sit at idle!
