I want to know too, as I find I get good mileage in the cold once my car is heated up, generally after 10-15 miles when it is freezing.
When it is warm it obviously needs less time and miles to reach that point.
A short commute would lead to large variation by ambient temperature, a long commute much less so.
Using a block heater may straighten this out a bit.

YMMV stands for Your Mileage May Vary BTW.

For education go to people unlike yourself.
