We should call myth busters on this one...

On modern cars, it's no good only in that it's wasteful (in terms of gasoline).

The old myth was related to oil pressure not being high enough to protect the engine at low speeds. This doesn't really apply to todays engines.

I've noticed when using the button on the key to unlock the doors that after a while the doors will relock all by themselves ,any chance of the car locking you out when you have the keys in the ignition but dont lock the car door?

No, once you open a door the auto-relock feature of the keyless entry is disabled. How smart that computer!
