Yes-the warm start ups are great. The car starts like I just shut it off a little while ago and does not scream away on high idle. At below freezing with just 2 hrs of block heater run time I went from 2 miles until cool engine light out to less than 0.5! From what I've been reading most have found a EBH run time of about 3 hrs to be the most economical. I bought a GE digital timer at Home Depot today for less than twenty bucks so I can have the EBH come on automatically before I leave for work. Should be great when the REAL cold gets here.
