I'd almost bet your vehicle has no problems quickly building up the heat to run efficiently.
Once the vehicle is already warm there is nothing to gain with a wai. A lot of 4 cylinder/ stop start cars have problems maintaining temp, but large engine vehicles with no start stop heat up almost immediately and produce excess heat and any extra heat consumed is just bled off by running the cooling circuit more often.
