They really need to be heated completely to run the most efficiently. We have the same problem here with test drives, the demo cars usually end up fouling the spark plugs, and running rich because they never reach full operating temperature.
What you need is a nice 'Italian Tune-Up'. Take the poor car, find a long rural (preferably curvy) road and drive the 'you-know-what' out of it. This will make both you and the car feel much better.
Have a Happy New Year!
Cheers,
Brian.
