The warm up is an urban myth/ misconception. <br /><br />"[because modern cars have electronic fuel injection with sensors]Idling in winter thus has no benefit to your (presumably modern) car. Auto experts today say that you should warm up the car no more than ***30 seconds**** before you start driving in winter. " The engine will warm up faster being driven," the EPA and DOE explain.
