Should you warm up your car when it's extremely cold? Maybe not, says AAA

The article from MSN, citing AAA, discusses the common practice of warming up a car in extremely cold weather and suggests that it might not be as necessary as many believe. Traditionally, drivers have been advised to let their cars idle to warm up the engine, especially in cold climates. However, AAA points out that modern vehicles with fuel injection systems do not require extended warm-up times. Instead, they recommend driving the car gently for the first few miles to warm up the engine more efficiently. This approach not only saves fuel but also reduces emissions. The article explains that idling can waste gas, contribute to pollution, and even be illegal in some areas due to idling restrictions. Furthermore, AAA advises that if a car must be warmed up, doing so in a garage or for a very short period outside is sufficient, emphasizing that the best way to warm up a car is by driving it.
