I don't think that the engine shuts off.
 
There are many reports from owners who left the car running and took the FOB and the car ran continually until they got back.
 
What makes you think the car will shut off on it's own?

I actually tried it tonight. Sure enough, all the warning signs came on, it beeped several times (very loudly) that I was leaving the car running, "key not detected" came up on the program, A red flashing triangle was flashing at me. So, yes, I would have to say "what a bonehead move, to not shut it off". We always check the fuel economy rating, so if we always remember to do that, we will know that it has been shut off.

Just left a post that when I use the remote starter... the car will run until I turn it off.

To wv gas guy, thanks for all the info. Youve done your homework. Ive even improved the mpg on my 96 volvo 5 cyl turbo by slowing down on the hiway and helping it shift up earlier with the accel
You probably remember the dash vacuum guages they sold with economy color zones on them. If every car, hybrid or not had mpg guages most people would get better mpg.
I got 44 on my tch holding it down to 50 and using you driving tips when practical
Everyone squawks about gas prices but they flew be me like I was standing still.

You're welcome. I'm now at 26,000+ miles in the hills of WV and averaging 38.33 mpg. I find that incredible.

If "they" are "flying by you" you are going too slow.

Quite the contrary... not if you want 38+ gas milage. As per another post - if they put gauges like we have in ICE cars people would probably slow down and save gas.
 
As consumption is up 2% imagine and driving the speed limit saves one 20%... we would not have the current gas crises. I use to drive 80+ and now, for the first time in my 50 odd years, hate going over 70 unless it's a downhill and more often than not, get 40+ mpg. I am also more relaxed and arrive about 5 minutes later than driving at 80.

I agree with your point re going slower to get better mpg. You just have to be careful where you go slow. Going much slower than the traffic flow is dangerous.
