Hey everyone, yes I do already have a scangauge. I've had the instant mpg gauge set to water temperature this week. Looks like once my car's up and running the temp stays between 190 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Now my question would be, if I started blocking the grill, how high can I let this temp go before it's too high? I've heard the built-in temp gauges on cars work where the needle stays in the middle of it for something like a 40 degree range, and then anything a little bit above pegs the needle at the top.
Also before when I read about grill blocks back when I started the hypermiling stuff, it seemed like people were just using them to get the engine to warm up sooner. Seems like I hit my 190 water temperature pretty quick here, so I'd say the grill blocking would be for aero purposes for me.
And one last question about ecomodder, would it be ok if I linked to my mileage log on cleanmpg in my signature?
