yes, to the floor, or so it sounds like, I would say if they were going it would be at least 40 or 50 mph.

they park and then they run the engine at full speed and hold it there all night, NOT at a preset idle. read the question again... DUH

And why the f#+K are you doing it when it's 65 degrees out?
When I was pulling tanker I would regularly nap at a particular vista point. There was a driver from another company would show up at least half the times I was there and do the fast idle. We're talking Nor Cal, 10 miles from the ocean. It never gets too hot. It never gets too cold. I think it's like a GF I had who could only sleep with the TV on.

bumping up the idle a bit keeps the fluids moving better, as well as the ac compressor putting out colder air.
