I disagree. I lived in the South Bay long enough to know that while you have pretty mild temperatures in Walnut Creek, your nightly lows get cool enough for a block heater to matter. I had a low here in east Texas of 39 last night and a high in the 50s. My FE got slaughtered. A block heater would have gone a long, long way. +30*f coolant temp when you start the car makes a BIG difference.
