Plugging in your vehicle in cold weather reduces engine wear and fuel consumption.
When an engine starts up, oil pumps throughout the block to lubricate moving parts. In a cold engine, the oil is thick and resists flow, which means the engine has to work even harder to overcome internal friction. Thick oil takes longer to circulate. Engine Block heaters pre-warm the engine's oil and coolant, which in turn warms the engine block and lubricants. As a result, the engine will start easier and reach its peak operating temperature faster. Fuel consumption soars in cold weather, sometimes by as much as 50 percent. That's hard on your budget and the environment. Studies have shown that at -20°C, engine block heaters can improve overall fuel economy in your vehicle by as much as 10 percent. For a single short trip on a cold day, that's a fuel savings of about 20 percent. Don't Plug your vehicles engine block heater in all night long. Doing so, offsets your fuel savings by running up your electricity bill. Two hours is all the time needed to warm a vehicles engine. Hint: An automatic timer can be used to switch on the engine block heater a couple of hours before you plan to drive away. Unnecessary engine idling wastes fuel. It's expensive and has been proven to cause environmental damage. Controlled studies demonstrate that prolonged idling typically reduces the operating life of engine oil by 75 percent, from 600 engine-hours to 150 engine-hours. Leaving your engine idling for one hour is equivalent to two hours of driving. Imagine the savings, just by plugging in!
