Car was accidently left idling 9 hours overnight.  Any harm done do you
think?
Seemed to run OK the next day.
1998 Accord.

It's a good idea not to make a practice of idling it overnight :-) but it
should be okay. At any rate, there isn't really anything you need to do with
it.

Maybe change the oil.

Ditto. Then go have a beer and forget about it.

Just an off the wall question, but how much gas did it burn?

:-)  Hey Tom . . . . It's good to hear you managed to stagger into the
house, rather than passing out in the front seat. :-)

Next New Years, please take a cab. We appreciate your input around here.
