Idle is back to like 1500 as if it was a cold start and have to wait till it goes back down till I drive off.

This gets annoying typically at gas stations why I turn my engine off for couple mins and turn back on and gotta wait for idle to drop.

Was wondering if this is normal
Might be the 02's waiting to get back to temp. 30 seconds is usually enough before you get going on a cold start. If it's already warm for sure just go.
