Maybe the actual reason cars get terrible mileage on short trips is because automakers program them to run rich for the first couple of miles so people will start walking more. Its some sort of conspiracy! They want Americans to lose weight in these troubled economic times by walking and consolidating their errands to one round trip!
It all makes sence now!

You have a point,. I noticed my other car really had big problems when I used it often on short trips.. First the low mpgs, then the next thing I knew was that the
alternators were going bad. And then the fuel pump and then the radiator.. Geesh.. What a headache..
