One of my friends is an engineer at Honda and he told me that at least on Honda vehicles you should be able to get better mileage by turning the key to "ACC" prior to engine start-up for 1-2 minutes. The reason being that in this state, there are element heaters on some of the wide and narrow band fuel mixture sensors that are activated. Then, when you do do turn on the engine and start driving these sensors should be able to effectively adjust the fuel/air ratio.
I don't know how far back this tip works for Hondas, or if it will work for other vehicles.
Who will commit to try it and see if it makes a difference?

that is funny.
to call it technological evolution, ya know, like everything before vtec...
they are mimicking an electric choke.
alot of japanese (the first I knew of, aside from diesels) have a bell even for carb cars (35+ years), wait for the bells to stop and then start, it avoids rich conditions, sometimes the little fuel pumps know to give it a squirt, if given a few seconds before hand..pumping once or twice of course before hand. that is a big big confusion for our retarded planet.
