FWIW...." When an engine runs cold so does its lubricating oil, which means more potential for moisture and acid to form in its oil. At higher temps (both oil and engine) harmful deposits are boiled off. This prevents the slow destruction of bearing material and shortened engine life.
When an engine runs too cold, the fuel economy goes down, often way down. A decrease of 6 to 10 miles per gallon isnt unusual and as fuel consumption increases so does wear. Wear increases because of two factors. First, the cold engine doesnt heat the oil sufficiently and harmful deposits, moisture, and acid accumulate rapidly, then eat away at the inside of your engine. Thats why flaming exhausts are bad ideas, your liturally pouring gas down your cylinder walls...Yea but its fun anyway... "
