i have 48 idle hours and 244 regular hours.
I think it counts when your going zero mph as idle hours. like if your stopped at a red light or anytime the wheels aren't turning and the motors running.

223 regular hours, 51 idle hours.
6 of the idle hours is high idle (half hour here, half hour there adds up).

389 hours, 67 idle hours, 13,9XX miles.

Equates to a vehicle MPH average of 35.5. If I were looking at purchasing a previously owned diesel I would do this calculation. A vehicle MPH average of less than 30 would indicate lots of idle and city driving which is not necessarily the optimum operating condition.
