Edit: These tests include the engine coolant preheat and the transaxle preheat. I will do some runs to separate out the gains from the transaxle preheat later.
This morning, I ran with no preheat. Everything at ambient: 7˚C
1 run@ 6.0 L/100 ambient 7˚ OAT
2 runs@ 5.1 with preheat 7˚ OAT
15% better with both engine and transaxle coolant preheat on a tiny sample size. Not conclusive but encouraging.
(Previous average was 6.3 cold, but that was before getting new tires so I'm starting new figures.)
