The real thanks go to Ken@Japan who shared his NHW20 data.

I have to admit I'm conflicted about this:
- slow speed, "N" gliding warm-up
- 30-40 seconds of cold-start, EV boost
- engine compartment air inlet blocks (aka., radiator blocks)
- block and transaxle heater effects
I live in the Tennessee valley and we don't have as much cold and windy weather as others. Yet I can appreciate that those who live further north need every advantage. But for my commuting car, I really don't do much beyond the radiator block unless the temperatures are below 35F.
