I use a 400w block heater, a 150w adhesive pad type heater on the oil pan and another 150w adhesive pad heater on the transmission pan. Mine were flat enough so they fit perfect, I just measured the pans and choose the appropriate size. My Coolant, Engine Oil and Transmission Fluid are all around 100 degrees F when I start it up in the morning, it goes out of open loop in about 20 yards. I typically see around a 4mpg loss on my morning commute if I don't plug it in.
