My MGB needs full choke to start in this frosty weather, but I
push the choke in completely as soon as I get out of the
driveway. The engine will stumble a little as I drive 1/4 mile
to a stopsign but it keeps running. At the stopsign I pull out
1/4 choke to be sure that it won't stall in the intersection.
Once the car is moving, I push the choke in again and am done
with it for the duration of this drive.

This is a very good proceedure, and one which I use all the
time. It accomplishes at least two things:
1) It reduces the amount of fuel coming in so there is less
washing of oil of the cylinder walls due to liquid fuel.
2) It reduces warm up time.
It works very well as long as you keep the RPMs up a bit.
