^^^agreed. I noticed 5-10* increase over a 1-2 hour period with my little bubblefoil/cardboard contraption. Plus, I could drive for hours, stop and feel the hood after 5 minutes and it didn't feel warm. It's doing some insulating, one way or another. Of course, completely sealing the engine bay would be the right start, but this was cheap and easy.
