Where do you get the 90% figure? Our ex response vehicle covered 50K before we got it and we've added a further 50K. In an ideal world everybody would warm the car through before driving it 'quickly' but most won't. Years ago when you bought a new car it would require running in, now build standards are much better that engines no longer need to be run in.
