That Cold Engine 25mpg is just a number I pulled since the car is supposed to get nearly 40mpg city (fully warmed). I figured it'd get more than half of the City mpg as it warmed.

I have an MPGuino.....it's still sitting in two major pieces since it failed to work properly when assembled. There were some solder bridges that I didn't check for on the pre-soldered IC. They have since been cleaned up but I haven't stopped by Radio Shack to get some more pins to re-connect the LCD to the main board.

I used the OEM style block heater which is a screw in type wher ethe engine block coolant drain is located. Pics of the installation: HERE
