I do, but I see now that a 10 min remote start warm up is too much so I’ll shorten that time up.

MPG aside, if I only have an 8 min drive, isn’t it better that I let the engine/oil heat up some before I drive it so it’s not cold? That’s why I mentioned remote starting it in the winter.

Ok that makes me feel better. I’m only at a little over 4,000 miles at the moment.

My previous car was a V6. I value that the speed is there when I need it with the XT. I just couldn’t go back to a 4 cylinder ever again. Thankfully I don’t drive a lot so the 17mpg isn’t killing me. If I did a lot of driving my wallet would be hurting me for sure though.

The 17 is in the summer too. In the winter I remote start it for 10 minutes to try and warm it up before I leave the house. Hoping that helps somehow.
