Amen to the full upper/lower grill block!
For the past couple months I've been running a full upper/lower foam pipe insulation grill block and in current 20-30 degree temps (and sometimes lower) my engine temps are in the 185-195 degree range after about 6 miles without using my EBH...which are the same temps I see in the summer months without the grill block (but within 3 miles in the warmer temps). Since my commute home is 11 miles the last 3-4 miles of my drive I make up alot of the mpg I lose on the first half of the commute.
Current Stats (average of 3 drives home the last 3 days):
First 7 miles home: 44 mpg
Last 4 miles home: 62 mpg
When using my EBH I'm in the 185-195 degree range after about 5 miles in 20-30 degree weather. It seems once the heat is generated by the ICE it stays in the engine area pretty well with the grill block installed.
