I warm it up cause is freakin freezing around here! temps this winter have been in the 20 to 0 range all winter. and it's good to have a warm engine before you drive in those temps.

i maybe wrong here but i thought warming up the engine before driving was just for the non fuel injected engines i.e. carbs

no it's to get the oil all wamed up and lubing properly. as well as give the metal's time to expand without pressure. oh ya and keep from poping head gaskets.

so your worried about thse small little details which in all actuallity mean nothing but then you want to put some gas in it that it is clearly not made for. thats like putting autozone brand oil in you enzo

Lol, all you need is to wait for oil pressure before driving. Shouldn't take more than 3 seconds and that's on the long end.

ethanol sucks, it makes your engine break down, and i've seen many people's engine knock when using it. plus it gets worse milage

If you have one, park it in your garage. If not, just suck it up.
