I found my Kill o Watt and measured the block heater on my truck at 650 watts. This is after 25ft of extension cord. I've been warming the truck for 2hrs before driving, and it makes all the difference in startup and warm up.

Now that it's above freezing again, I might ride Lafawnda to work tonight.
