Gas or diesel, any need for warm up is completely satisfied as you slowly drive through the campground on the way out. It's not like you're cold starting and then immediately going full throttle accelerating onto a freeway.
Yes and no. ;)
Yes, it isn't the same, I agree.
No, the implication that it isn't a stressful load isn't always the case. If someone is towing heavy and pulls out to an immediate upwards grade, it is certainly better to have your engine warmed up.
Sticking with the complaint in this thread, I am also not saying it takes a LONG time (someone said 40 mins?) for this warmup, either.
When the sun isn't shining, I certainly agree any warmup times should be kept to a minimum ;)
