Idling and CO2 emissions
In 2004, my wife and I took a week off to go fishing in the Baskatong Reservoir, about 20 kilometers northeast of Mont-Laurier, Quebec. On site, the lodges were not all close to the lake, so the outfitter lent us a small, gasoline-powered golf kart-type vehicle to carry our fishing gear from one spot to another. Its engine had the particularity of completely shutting down when the kart came to a full stop. As soon as the brake pedal was released, the engine magically sprang back to life. I found the whole thing pretty cool.
