Agreed. Now if your grille block was stuck to the radiator, you'd have good heat but your aero properties would be slightly at a loss. Then again, if you dont often travel at speed it won't matter much.
I blocked the rad on my kia cee'd on the outside but found it also blocked my intercooler and blocked the air inlet too so fuel consumption was way worse. Now i have cardboard shoved up between the rad and the aircon rad. This still affects the aircon when my wife drives so she leaves it on longer (all the time)
and the fuel consumption is like everybody elses. Sometimes i wonder why i bother!!
