RESULTS:
I started at 2:30PM CDT @ 74°F at the block heater location and temp sensor location. Ambient temperature was 75.2°F
At 3:50PM, Temp at the heater was 159°F, temp at the temp sensor was 101°F

*All temps were measured using my Fluke 62 mini IR temp gun for the block heater readings, the coolant temp readings were taken with my Megan Racing water temp gauge and then double checked with the Fluke 62.

Thoughts: I think I might get into the habit of plugging in my car during the summer as well as the winter now. I know that the cost offset for the winter is worth it, but now I'll collect data to see if the cost offset is worth it in the summer as well.
