Q.		Are there any laws regarding idling in Ohio? I was quite surprized to see the one on the books in New Jersey. Also, is there an average fuel usage when idling?

Referencing two qualified sources, I have found no state laws regarding idling in Ohio to date. I do know that there is a big push on by the Environmental Protection Agency to eliminate all idling in all states by 2015, so changes are coming.
On average an idling truck burns 1 gallon of diesel fuel per hour. That is the truck idling at approx. 900 rpm, which is normal.
