"  I hate when my neighbor heats up his car for 20 minutes before work. Our yard smells like gas, and it&amp;#039;s bad for the environment! Can I ask him to stop? These are valid complaints, but your neighbor probably believes the engine needs to warm up in cold weather. And he&amp;#039;s right, but he&amp;#039;s overdoing it. (According to the Department of Energy, 30 seconds is sufficient time to get the oil flowing.) Try approaching him in a nonconfrontational way: &amp;quot;Joe, do you think you could quit running your motor for so long? The fumes are pretty strong. Thanks!&amp;quot; If he balks, suggest a compromise of 10 minutes. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
