False economy

You guys trying to go beltless, what you save on fuel you spend on the 110-volt battery charger in your garage. Plus you can't do roadtrips, and if you can't enjoy your car, then why own one? Then again, how can you enjoy anything under 200 HP?
Likewise, you guys trying block heaters, what you save on fuel you spend on 110V in your garage.
If you're using a good synthetic oil, then the block heater doesn't actually help reduce cold start friction.
