Car Myth Number 1!

Car myths are everywhere. You just have to decide whether you want to listen to them or not. So over the course of this week we've decided to debunk a few car myths that may be hurting your wallet.

Car Myth Number 1:
Warming up your car’s engine before driving in the cold.

Engine parts do need to warm up to operate fully, but modern engines warm up faster while you’re actually driving. Additionally, your wheel bearings and transmission need movement to completely warm up. Running your car before driving in colder weather has no benefit other than heating you up inside the car. You’ll achieve the best fuel mileage and performance through usage. Idling the car in your driveway uses gas to go nowhere — essentially wasting money and fuel.

Comment below what you think about this myth.
