Bloomberg spokesman Stu Loeser said the mayor made it clear to the police detail that drives him around that he wants to set a better example.
The city also said that months ago, the mayor had "No Engine Idling" signs installed on the dashboards of the Chevrolet Suburbans.
The AP reported yesterday that in spot checks over the past week, the parked vehicles were idling at least eight times for periods of 10 minutes to more than an hour. The AP reported its findings after Bloomberg, who casts himself as an environmental leader, signed a bill strengthening the city's anti-idling law earlier this year.
