    But considering the fuel you burned during the warm up, worse fuel economy.

    I usually let it warm long enough to move the needle, only bc my commute is 10 min of 3.5k powering up a pass. Same coming back down. I'll put the t-case in N and leave the transmission in gear, helps the shifts feel smoother.

    Why do you guys drive slowly while it's warming up? Are you worried about mechanical damage?

    If warmups did anything or were necessary the owners manual would tell you to do so. There is nothing in my owners regarding warmups. Maybe in yours, I don’t know.

    "Warm-ups" often have the opposite of the intended consequence. You want all components warming up at the same speed together, but idling in the driveway just warms the engine and not the trans or diff(s). Hell, my old '85 911 specifically says in the owner's manual to not do any sort of warm-up as it is potentially damaging to the car.

    Technically 92 is the min, so 93.

    ‘85 911 is 9.5 to 1
    2GR-FKS in the Tacoma is 11.8 to 1

    So no, that would be incorrect.

    Check build thread!
    If it’s below 0, I usually remote start it and let it warm up while I brush it off, grab the stuff I need, my jacket etc. gives it a while to get the gooop that fuel and ATF is in the negatives. In the summer? Start it, 10 seconds to plug my phone in, drive conservatively for 1-3 min, and she’s good.

    Internet search tends to indicate a 30 second warmup (15-30 usually cited) is all that’s needed to allow oil to flow well for vehicles that are fuel injected. The same is not true for carbureted engines which need a longer warmup.

    No sorry, any warm up longer than the time it takes to click on your seat belt and click off the parking brake will negatively impact fuel economy.
