Then you have a nice situation for some great cruising in lean burn. Get the block heater... the warmed engine will be key to getting into lean burn ASAP, especially on your return home drive, when you'll have the day's coldest dawn temps. You get down to 30s and less out there, no?

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
