Smooth light throttle inputs at a little higher rpm will keep wear to a minimum while the oil gets up to temp. Coolant comes up to temp within 2 miles on my car, but the oil takes another 13-15 miles before it is stable at 188f.

Until the oil is warm on my car it is very difficult to get best mpg's.
