Just my 2 cents

My yard buggie is a 1985 GMC S-15, it is really cold blooded, problably needs a good carb tuned. Once it is warm, it runs fine.

Both my cars I drive (92 camry and 97 corolla) both start and are ready to go any time except they won't shift into OD until the temp gauge just starts to move. That is 130*F with my scangauge on the 97.

Having a scangauge and a mother that is aginst getting in a cold car, I can see the huge differences in my average MPG for the trip with warming up vs just taking off. Somewhere in the lines of 32mpg vs 39mpg on ~30 min drive.
