Verdad Gallardo Also I warm my car up every day as well, always have. I don't know how long for though, I just wait until I reach an oil temp of 100* and a coolant temp of 160* before I take off.
there are different ways to use seafoam. so how worth it it is depends on how dirty those areas of the engine are and if it can even clean what's there. you would have to check plugs and what not to see if you're dirty or not. It helps clean things up, if that equals mpg increase or not is very much car specific. It's not likely though unless you're pretty bad off. Running premium all the time should make things pretty clean on it's own.
These aren't carb motors ...you really dont have to waste all that gas warming your car up. maybe 1-2 minutes if it's below freezing but otherwise, just turn it on and go. It wont hurt anything as long as you're not doing something stupid like drag racing right away.

some people have bad results on high mileage motors. Cleans all the crap out that is sometimes filling in wear spots on cylinder walls, piston tops and in combustion chambers thus lowering compression. Also if you do a top end clean it can ruin injectors that are old. (top end cleaner is totally different from seafoam i know) i know from experience on both of these
