Idling doesn't hurt a car at all. Modern Diesel yes. Gasoline no. Police idle constantly and don't have hour meters go by miles. On my tow trucks we go by hours bc we idle constantly too. Truck runs 18-19 hours continuous out of every 24. Refuels running too. Run all gas units. Doesn't seem to hurt the cop cars and taxies that's for sure.
