Hey All,
Fuel prices have me carpoolling to work.
My numbers are thus:
200 miles in 2 weeks (10 miles (1 way) for 10 days)
The other 2 weeks are much longer, so the engine will be fully warmed for each trip.
My concern is the 'light' weeks with the 10 mile rides?
Some info:
Truck is garaged (~53 degrees) w/ block heater on timer when home.
The h2o temp gauge is moving off 140* before I'm off my block and up to temp
after about 3-4 miles.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Joe

Moving it off the 140 mark is good I think. A lot of the times during the winter mine doesnt make it off of that since I park outside and it concerns me a little and will take a bit more than 3-4 miles to make it to that temp for me...I wouldnt worry about it
