I drove to work in a cold rain this morining, and I'm still sitting at 32.7mpg. Do you guys let them idle in the driveway to warm up? I do not. I'm just easy on the gas until the gauge starts coming up, which doesn't take long moving the vehicle.

That is true for gas, but the additives for diesel changes... Not much of an issue for HHRs :o)
