The only reward a grill block has in a city driving setting is a small thermal benefit during the winter months, but even then if you look at my fuel log, there isn't really much difference from the first winter (no grill block) and this last winter (full grill block). I didn't get on the ball this year about installing a block heater, which is another great suggestion even if it isn't wintertime.
