Did my regular routine for work this morning except while taking the dog out I went ahead and started the car first and let it sit while he took his usual amount of time to find his spot. Put the dog in as usual, give the wife a goodbye, and head down to the GTI and its off to work! Car was fully warmed up, all the way to the 190 in the middle, not what I usually do. Most if the time it only gets a quarter of the way before I'm off, sometimes less.
I take off, enjoy the drive as usual, I keep the display on consumption to not be that guy while driving, get to work and what do I see? 36+ MPG?! Its usually around 30-31!
So does letting the engine fully warm up before driving really help THAT much on a 15 minute trip 80% highway? Or was this just a fluke?
