The Report concludes that the extra fuel used, because engines are not fully warm at all times, is roughly one third of the present national consumption by cars. A national sample of car diaries, collected with the National Travel Survey in 1978-79, has made it possible to make a new estimate of the effect of cool engines on fuel consumption. For the first time it has been possible to make a detailed allowance for the effect of trips which start with the engine already warm. (Copyright (c) Crown Copyright 1983.)
