a) Some recommend cranking the engine for a couple of seconds BEFORE
   depressing the accerator (setting the choke). Obviously this method
   will not work for cars with electronic fuel injection where the
   "choke" is electronically controlled.

b) Synthetic oils claim to reduce this type of wear.
