Personally think these cars run better after High RPM drives. Like most here, smooth shifts are the ticket. I'm also all about waiting for the temps to get up. I drive a 13 mile work commute also. I suspect that the oil temp is not up until about 1/2 to 2/3 of that distance. Water temp up in 2-3 miles
