I was just reading a report titled "Reduced Air Pollution and Fuel Consumption with Preheated Car Engines by Paul G Hoglund and Anders Ydstedt" It's very apparent that preheating the engine at below 20C / 68F is better all around. So everyone here is saying Solar is out.. What about using a deep cycle battery to keep the engine warm while at work, etc.. Has anyone used something like this for the B side?
