This winter I am able to keep the Yaris at around 48 plus mpg even at -20*C which is better than last winter, when I could only get around 42 mpg. I am doing more P&G and less EOC. I have also instaled a small smart charger that is pluged in with the block heater, which is being pluged in much more offten than last winter.

I don't know what kind of FE I'll got for this tank, but I continued to ride to work so Teresa have seen temps down to -7C (19F). I'm at 200km now and continue to ride so I'll se the result next week.
She's running with a partial radiator block again, just like last winter. I hope it helps.
Techniques: I don't FAS that much, and I don't even P&G too much. It's unpleasant to press your fingers against the ice-cold (and stiffer than in warm weather) clutch lever, even through heated gloves. I even have a FAS-less route home, I time the lights instead so I don't have to stop, and, shame or not, often let her idle at the first one that can't really be timed, to save battery power and prevent stalling over my next glides. After the first mile or so stalling is not a problem, but that light is at the wrong place.
