Title: Would the short journey harm an RX?
Post by: Vtec on November 13, 2003, 05:01:44 PM
Hi - still on the hunt for an RX, but probably not till next summer now. My round trip to work is only 7 miles - I would like to know if this short journey would damage an RX, by not allowing it to reach operating temperature etc, how long should you run it for?- if this was the case, I would maybe consider buying a cheap runaround for work. Cheers guys

Shouldnt be a problem.  I dont think I even go 7 miles to get to work though it does take some time with traffic.  It wont do your fuel consumption much good though :D

Cheers
