Idel

[COMPOSER]

Just wandering.. I have two questions. First, I live in Southern CAlifornia and our winters are harmless. We only get into the low to mid 40's in the winter nights. Question #1. How long should my warmup be in the mornings. Question #2. How much fuel is consumed when at an idel?

A few minutes at the most is all you want to idle before driving off. I don't recall the fuel consumption at idle but it is like 1/5 gal per hour, more or less. You don't need to let it warm up at those temperatures, just take it easy for a few miles before you get on it hard.
