Engine Blanket 11/25/07

Brief update on the blanket project. Still running along without any problems. No real cool weather until now. Should start seeing some low 30F commutes.

In case anyone is wandering, I'm not expecting a huge windfall of FE increase with the blanket project. If overall I can see a 2, maybe 3 percent increase during the winter driving period, that would probably be about the max. I can already see an improvement in the warm up time. After 6 or 7 miles out, I could start burping 190+F coolant into the cabin heater core; However, I usually wait until ~203F to start opening up the climate control.
