You can sort of check the "idling" time on our 3rd gen trucks by getting the total "engine hrs" from the odometer display and divide it by the mileage on the truck.  IIRC they'd like to see an average of greater than 30mph................35mph is better.  The last I checked mine, I was 35.7xx average mph.

My truck life average is 32.9, and 33.7 since I bought it. The new engine average is 29.7. I have very little idle time, and aside from stop lights almost all my idle time is for cool-down from towing.

I don't do a lot of high speed driving these days, 71 is about as fast as I go and that's rare. Last year I only did one tank with an average above 60, and I have one tank with an average of 11.5 without a lot of idle time.
