Julie not a lot of people could afford to run their car for 40 minutes prior to leaving. Perhaps 4 minutes so as to warm up the oil a bit bit defiantly not 40. With the price of gas it would be crazy. Besides it would be plenty warm after 4 or 5 minutes. I am certainly not a mechanic but that is my opinion anyway.

Forty minutes is a bit exagerated! Depending on what type of climate you live in. Depends on how longyou should let your warm up. If you live in a cold climate then you should let your car warm for at least 10 to 15 minutes. In warmer climates 5 to 10 minsutes is usually enough time.

Forty minutes is a bit long. But you DO need to warm it up. Especially when it's cold outside.

No not 40 minutes. only a few the car warms up as you drive. Saves on fuel too besides the pollution.

sure if you dont mind being attacked by a mob of green peace protesters... no you should never leave your car running for over 40 minutes without even moving.. not only are you wasting petrol your creating pollution. Tell that person from me they are stupid and to keep their stupid ideas to them selves.
