I'm not a car expert, but wouldn't the fact that the engine takes time to heat up mean that it is more efficient?

- ju-st 11y agoYou're right. In my experience the gas guzzlers always heat up faster.
- ptaipale 11y agoPrecisely that. Over here (Finland), modern diesels have heaters to compensate for that (so, because the engine does not produce excess heat, the heater burns some fuel to generate heat). The UK models may be stripping off the heaters for cost. I hear people don't even use winter tyres in Britain...
