Yeah yeah yeah, it's the topic du jour ...
How would I get better gas mileage. Should I let the engine idle for 3 -5 minutes, while waiting for a school bus, after driving 1/2 mile after a cold start ?
I have an '06 Sienna. In the morning my commute begins by taking my 3rd grade son to his bus top, 1/2 mile away. Then I take his 4 y.o. brother to pre-school about 4 miles away. Then I drive about 10 miles to work.
I know about the cold start process of emission controls.
