i hear that starting your car is the equivalent of letting your car idle for about 3 minutes or so, and by equivalent i mean the amount of gas being used. Has anyone else heard of this? Or if it is true?

it is true that during start your bearings incurr more wear then anytime while running (that is in the engines operational range). And ya you would burn out your starter and in heavy city driving you could kill your battery depending on how close the lights are being it draws the most power of any part of the system (that is other then large stereo systems, I think)
