YEahh you shouldnt do it like that....
You are increasing warm up time!!
You are using a huge electrical load!!

Nono. I keep fans + heat set to cold until the engine is at operating temp. I was using the empty AC fuse slot(I have no AC) to get hot power to route through the switch and over to the relay. I fixed that. I bought a dual fuse thingy which I have in the fuse slot for cig and radio that I'm running a 5a fuse in for my 12v->5v dc converter(for dashcam) and the kill switch.

@Daox Taking into account I had two tanks at 4.87 and 4.93 that's a pretty decent difference. Or maybe I'm looking too far into patterns that aren't there.

EDIT: Did the PS delete just now, removed the belt(lazy method, i know). I took it for a test drive to see if looping the system/etc would be worth the effort but it's so easy to turn. I'm a small guy, 130lbs 5'7", so not exactly Hercules but I had no issues in turning the wheel with one hand at red light right turn speeds which was my main concern. If I do find a low KM version of my car I'll grab a steering rack out of an automatic coupe(that's the version that came with manual steering) and drop that in. For this mileage though it's not worth the money/time.
