can overnight idle hurt a car?

Snow 24 January 2005 16:53:47
 I did a foolish thing yesterday. At 3pm, I turned my minivan on to warm it
up as it had been sitting two days, and it is severe cold here in Maine.
Well, as I go back in the house my wife says I have leaking water pipes
(frozen pipe problem). Well, I then FORGOT that the minivan was on, and I
left it on all night until 7am the next morning.
It was still running, and appeared to use about 5 gallons of gas. No sign of
damage thus far. This is the first time I ever did this. Does a one time
mistake like this hurt a car?
I plan to change the oil a bit earlier than planned though.
Any information appreciated.

Other than wasting gas you most likely harmed nothing. It's a good
thing you didn't have a leaky pipe from the minivan and leave it
running though.
