I am in New Mexico and I use the crap out of my block heaters when I use my diesel suburban. Just because you are in texas or newmexico doesn't mean we don't get a winter.
For example in new mexico I see almost a 130 degree temperature difference between the hottest summer days and coldest winter nights and a 80 degree temperature difference easy during winter between cold nights and warm winter days. Just recently here with in the last 2 or 3 weeks we have gone from -8'F nights to just shy of 80'F for a high during the day. 2 or 3 weeks ago it was -8'F at night, these past few days the high was just shy of 80'F. In 2010 we went from 80'F days to -16'F nights in less than a week.
Even in OKC I have been there when the high for the day was less than 20'F.
