Warming Up Car

Just curious how long you guys warm up your G. Is there a proper amount? i usually let it get to 800 RPM, which takes about 3 - 4 mins. Wondering if I don't need to wait as long or if I should wait some more.

30-60 seconds, or until the warm-up cycle ends.

I've heard 50-60 seconds is plenty of time of average days. I give it 60 seconds generally.

Hmm, seems like what I'm doing is okay, but the car is good to go around 1k rpm (generally about a minute). I just hate waiting that 3 minutes. Gas mileage is at 24 mpg last night and I let it sit for that 3 minutes and it drops 1 full mpg just idleing.

If you don't warm up, just be very gentle on the gas till it's warm.
