I'm sorry that a scientific discussion upsets you so much. We have an "expert" suggesting that cars should be started every 5 to 6 hours in order to keep the battery warm enough to start up the next time. This of course, is bogus. Furthermore, doing that will actually cause more harm than good due to the things listed. Lastly, this thread has zero to do with an occupants comfort or warmth in their vehicle on a cold morning.
