My block heater arrived today. I installed it at work during my lunch break and it took 35 minutes. Plugged it in for two hours before my shift ended. When I left work, my shop temperature was 70F, IAT read 74.5F, and coolant temp was reading 120F. When I arrived home the IAT was reading 45.2F and coolant temp was at 165F at an ambient 25F. My short range trip reading indicated 29.1 mpg for a solid +3 mpg increase.
