Still no block heater..I was going to do a Kat's combo of 200W magnetic heater for the tranny oil and the Circulating tank heater for the block..ordering it from online would be about 80 bucks shipped..

It plugs into the trans on the output side.
Directly connected to the right side axle.
Final drive ratio does not affect speedo reading.

To see how much my speedo is out, I've just been using a GPS and working out a % difference..its about 8% right now.
Our last fill was a little disapointing, 41 US Mpg. I'm not sure why it won't improve (probably the cold weather!) But I can't seem to break the 43 US Mpg mark. Both of us have been driving conservatively, save for the 110kph cruise on the hwy. My guess is the 4.39 final drive tranny really isn't really helping matters
I mean, its a metro, it should be kickin ass in FE!
Hopefully I'll swap that tranny out next week, this week fell through
