Well I think/hope tonight is the coldest were going to get. -18F(that's without the wind chill) Cold enough that I didn't scrape the frost on the outside, I had to scrape the frost on the inside of my windows. It never did defrost completely, even after several trips putting on about 15-20miles total. Now I'm really wishing I had some sort of block heater. But I guess as much as I hated seeing it I was still a little impressed that I got 12.3MPG on my long leg(it's been around 14-15MPG and as high as 19MPG in the summer). So far it's still above my winter goal of never seeing 10.9 on a tank avg again.
