Default Do you use 4 gear when engine is not at normal operating temperature ??

I used to use 4 gear at town when i left from home, even engine hanst warm up to operating temperature yet.. I feel it works of if there is not uphils.. and love to use cruise.. But when engine is not hot yet.. it does not feel good on uphils with 4 gear.. Maybe i should use 3 gear with cruise until it warms up..

How do you guys do??

I start my car and let it warm up before I drive it. Got to get the oil warmed up.

I agree. Until I see the oil temp start to move, I stay in a lower gear, but generally below 2500 RPM.

PS, so I guess the third option is closest to me.
