Success! Stage 4, 70˚C engine coolant temperature, in the garage in 40 minutes.

And a record commute: 4.3 L/100Km (54.7 mpg) my old record was 4.8 (49 mpg) and my average without preheat was 5.8 (40.5 mpg)

KWH and costs TBD.

Percent better: 25

Approximate gas savings per tank (assuming all island driving): $10

Keeping my honey warm: Priceless.

And my very first graph. Even pricelesser.
