sounds a little odd???
how did you figure that, bro? If you consume 1/10th of a litre every 10 mins, it means 1 litre per 100 mins, or 1hr 40 mins. Thats saying 15km in 1hr 40 mins, if your FE is 15 kmpl. Which is the equivalent of driving at lower than 10kmh for over an hour and a half.

That would show that idling consumes less fuel than running.
