Do you have an engine block heater in your car?

Yes. It is vital since I drive a diesel car and live in northern New England. I’ve also expanded that concept to installing electrical heat tracing on the fuel lines. When I first switched over to B100 biodiesel I had to experiment with cold temperature anti-gel additives as the pour point of early biodiesel was higher than the petroleum based fuel. This problem has now been corrected by the biodiesel producer.

No. I live in Texas, and it only gets down to 32 degrees a couple days a year. My sister’s car has one, though, because as a former resident of Kansas and then Rhode Island and as someone who has never had a garage, she had to use it often in the winter to get the car to start. She now lives in Santa Fe so I don’t know how often she uses it any longer.

I own a diesel, so yes.

I dont know what that is, but I do have a nifty little feature in my car where, if the car is already warmed up, when I push the button, I can turn the heat on even if the car is turned off. It works because the air is heated by the residual heat from the engine.

Nope, never did. I never owned a diesel and during the winter I ran a lighter-weight engine oil that wouldn’t turn to unpumpable taffy at -20F.

I’ve been through more than my fair share of dry gas though…

No I can’t afford it therefore I just Gerry-Rigged a toaster and slip it under the hood during cold nights.

Nope. Doesn’t get cold enough here in Ca. at the coast.

No not hear in New jersey but when in nothern main one winter all the cars in the parking lot would not start. The tires were frozen to the ground. Could have used it then.
