Suggest a heater???
I went and dug through my mpg log and cross referenced it with my daily planner and noticed a good drop on tanks when I had to let the truck warm up for an extended period because I had to take the kiddos multiple times on a given tank, there was even a drop that I could see on days I just took them once. If its just me I throw a gallon of cold water on the windshield to get the frost off and just go, but I cant just stick a 4 year old in a 35 degree truck cab, so I let it warm up for 15 mins or so, maybe too long, before I load them all up.
I have been looking at getting one of the block heaters that goes in the freeze plug holes, but I don't want to get stranded out in the woods somewhere because a cheap rubber stopper went to crap and I lost all my coolant! Guess I could carry a rubber freeze plug as backup incase it failed. Any exp. on what is a good quality brand would be helpful. Also would it be beneficial to pair it with one of the silicone mats to go on the oil pan?
