Have you read the 100+ Hypermiling Tips yet? Good information in there, could change your mind about wive's tales such as this.
Did some reading here and on the net. I guess with Modern Cars with fuel injection, the computer really adjusts the fuel flow as needed. Just don't push it when you first get goin'.

When I had my '84 Camaro Berlinetta, that car needed to be warmed up, but I guess that's more because the carbs and other tuning was all geared toward running temps, rather than cold.

I figured old Metro's where 2barrel carbed, but with further reading it's like a single point fuel injection, then moved to multipoint.

It's funny how much cars have changed.
