Assuming Bill's car has a functioning catalytic converter, he'd likely be alive in the morning. Modern cars operating at temperature emit basically zero carbon monoxide. So, unless the garage is basically airtight and the car burns all the oxygen in the garage, Bill will be okay.
I like this experiment. I don’t want the pede to die though, so I’ll watch over it and pull their crippled carcass out to revive them before it’s too late.
I imagine it probably would burn all the o2 overnight assuming the garage is airtight. What's the average cfm flow rate of an engine? Online from estimates I'm seeing roughly 50cfm on idle. I think the average garage is roughly 20x24ft which would be almost 4000 cubic feet. Doing the math the engine would go through all the available air in under an hour and a half. Likely it would be a bit longer than that due to inefficiencies in the burn, room for error on the air flow rate, non-airtight garage, etc, but I'd be really surprised if it lasted all night.

You go first then.

I’ll call myself a hero after. Win-win.
Bills on his own which is another win.
