Yeah, a full block would be entirely too much for any significant distance... right now it’s about perfect, even for 85-90* ambient temps... but my commute is like 2.5mi and with using P&G, my coolant temps barely break 140*... in theory as long as I didn’t get over 210* I could block the whole thing and be fine, knowing that if I tried to do any longer trip I’d have to remove some blocking...

There are no other routes to take to work that don’t add massive distance/time... there is one hill and a traffic light that work against me... there are two left turns and one right, which sometimes has me idling at an intersection for a while...

While on the rural roads, my 2.2L engine displacement isn’t much of a hindrance, in town it really sucks the fuel...
