Can someone explain grill blocks to me?

I understand that they make your engine hotter quicker..

What I don't understand is it will not actually make your engine run hotter because of the radiator working right?

Your thermostat will tell the radiator that it is getting to the desired temperature (mine being 195) and then will just turn on the radiator on right? so the temp will actually just stay the same right? and wouldn't that just make the radiator turn on more often to keep the engine cool, making the car use more energy and making the MPG go down just a little right?

btw: I'm really thinking about doing the grill block for the 2 lower holes in the bumper and keeping the top one open, how much do grill blocks really help? it is really worth $5?
