Reason I ask the question is another forum had someone inquiring on getting a hybrid....from Siberia.

NAH, more like can it get too cold for normal cars!!! hybrids treat the winters like a joke... except the mileage ;)

my solution is just to grille block, since it can hold the heat of the engine better and since hybrids don't use its engine too often overheating shouldn't be a problem... espically if the driver is going to keep his interior warm.

One plus to hybrids is they generaly have very efficient engines so you can idle them a long time without burning much fuel. And trust me. that far north people are idling their cars over night.

He was wanting to get an Insight and his thread inquiry was locked :( (which is a strong hint of which site it happened)

when warmed up for me i burn .7 liters per hour (my civic with a 1.7 liter engine was .9) I guess that .2 displacement makes the whole difference! (1.5 vs 1.7)
