I was amazed at how much leaving your car idling affects mpgs. Sometimes it's unavoidable, but I generally just start up, let it idle for about 5 seconds, then go, driving gently for the first few minutes. Keep that in mind, if you let your car warm up every morning before you drive, that kills your efficiency.
