I'm not sure it's quite as extreme as what you say but, yes, I do think that the "warm-up period" has a big effect on FE. I'm working on ways to help that. I'm already trying out a partial grill block. It didn't seem to make much change in the warm-up time. I'm looking to do a full grill block. I'll also start using my block heater soon (it's already installed and I just ordered the cord for it this morning).
