Also, don't rev the engine. This doesn't help warm the car up. Instead, revving can damage the engine and shorten its life. A worn out drivetrain can cost $5,000 or more.

Low air pressure causes tires to overheat and leads to excessive tread wear. Too much air pressure causes uneven wear.

If you hear them squealing while you're turning corners at normal speed, pump them up, says Molla. Also, check your owner's manual for information on scheduling tire rotation, which can extend the life of the set of tires and allow even wear.
