I only live 11km from work and used to let the car warm right up when I first started driving it a year back. My fuel economy back then was pretty terrible vs now when I simply wait for the rpms to settle down to around the 700rpm mark then drive off.

Pretty sure the lengthy idling during warm up was / is being calculated by the onboard average fuel consumption metrics.
