He knows he's a troll. He does it quite well, in fact. Topics such as these are on-topic enough to not get deleted, but clearly bullshit.

I truly think he's a good deal smarter than he lets on. Nobody truly stupid is that good at playing stupid without totally crossing the line.

You cannot be serious ?! I could understand warming up your car faster to operating temp,... but to keep it on while driving ?
It takes a good 2 to 3 hours for an engine to cool down, your business must be really slow if you have to wait that long to deliver pizza. I would start looking for another job.

Cardboard in front of the radiator......wow.

Are you retarted? It dosent matter how long it takes for the engine to cool down. All it matters is that if the coolant temp sensor reads something colder than ~160F, its gonna dump more fuel. Putting carboard is front of the rad and some sort of protective blanket are common practices around the world when its cold.

And deev, its not really stop and go. I live out in the burbs, so I do a lot of cruising in neutral and taking advantage of hills, gravity, etc.. The highest Ive ever gotten was 39mpg going 75-80, drafting behind a truck all highway.

Trucks do 75-80mph in America? Man, they restricted to 56mph here in the UK, and Irish made ones can do 60mph.

39mpg its pretty much fantastic . Best ive every got was 35mpg. im a firm beleiver with these cars that do get good mpg, either stick to 60mph and under or do like 90mph as your in peak torque zone then on the rev band which means the engine has bags of torque so holding speed requires so little effort from it.

For me if i do 60, 70, 80, 90mph the mpg is no different.

Yea man, in the northeast when its 20 degrees out, the engine is going to cool off in less than a half hour. This isn't florida where the coldest it ever gets is 45
