Zero: You might want to try a block heater. I finally figured out how to install a circulating one on our cars. Having the car already at full operating temperature before I leave is very very nice. It's not even that cold yet and I want to kick myself every time I forget to plug it in.

except for 6cyl vs 4cyl
Ive read even the 2.2 trans is a straight swap for the 2.5, which was another thing I had considered doing, removing the AWD by removing the rear transaxle and running at a FWD car only. but I heard that it might have given me a max of 1mpg extra, mostly likely .7 or less, which didnt add up for the cost of doing the AWD delete.
