I refuse to use pulse & glide with engine off cruise on principle of safety.

I don't think the block heater will help. Certainly the effect of the thermostat will be much more. The normal 'cold' start here occurs somewhere between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius. Once the coolant was already on the gauge, which I later discovered was 55 degrees.

How much gain would you expect to be between the tyre pressure, zero toe, and thinner oil? (Not interested in alternator delete for a wide variety of reason)

Would there be much gain in changing the gear oil? I used to run lightweight engine oil in one of the race-car gearboxes, and one of my other cars ran DXIII from the factory
