I think my title says most of it. I have a 2000 Honda Insight with a manual transmission. It certainly doesn't disappoint in the economy department, as I am averaging about 70 mpg since the weather warmed up. Unfortunately, I was fighting to get 60 during the winter. Granted, that amount to less than $9 per month in extra gas, but I was fighting for 60, and it took a lot of the fun out of driving it. I think I would have better luck with a block heater. I was wondering if anyone had tried to use a low power block heater to maintain heat instead of using a 800 watt heater to heat it up. My guess would be that a smaller one wouldn't be able to hold a big enough temperature differential, but I thought I could pass the thought on to someone who understands the thermodynamics a lot better than I do.
