I did notice the enviro-bent, but I don't think that was the thrust. Most of the major points relating to wear I posted in that quote. The general consensus nowadays is that the old conventional wisdom of letting the car reach operating temperatures via letting it sit and idle doesn't apply to most modern cars -- gentle driving until proper temperatures are reached is better for the vehicle in general.
