Default Re: Mileage for short drives

Tim -- great response with a lot of info. My wife is also trying to improve her driving habits, and was fretting over the drop in mileage. Thought she was doing something wrong. Probably just a victim of short trips.

My son really likes that key pad on the door. Now he can run ahead to the car and not wait for us 'old folks' to get there to open the door for him.

When making a stop, how long would the car run before the engine kicks in -- 5 to 10 minutes?

Thanks,
Mark
