Yes, I was reminded a few weeks ago about water in the engine, caused by making only short runs. So now, every few times I drive my car, I let it idle for 30 to 45 minutes to burn off the water, but it seems better to just not cause the condensation in the first place, so I drive my car only when you are going to need your car. It gets driven far enough that the water isn't an issue anyway.
So in fairness, add probably another 80 miles or so to that car total.
