Costs will, however miniscule they can be -incrementally accrue
if the engine is lower than the normal operating temperature, i.e; 180-240 degrees fahrenheit, the electronic controlled transmission will not go to overdrive and there is no lock up mode of the torque converter clutch, the engine operates in open loop (not optimum fuel economy) and the emissions are higher than normal, that is HC and CO emissions. the engine needs more fuel to operate than when it is at normal operating temperatures. the pistons do not expand to their designed size and may have more blowby gases.
