I need to winterize my car too. Grill block, block heater, warm air intake.

Warming up the engine is terrible. Today i had warmer temps and an errand before my commute. Once warmed up, I finally felt like the car was gliding again. Going from 68mpg to 60.8mpg. A 1 litre engine makes so little heat when you burn 1/60th of a gallon a mile to move a car!
