Oh definitely, it's getting there that's the problem.
I love busting out segments at 70+ when fully warmed up (multiple errands to run or whatever) even when it's still frigid outside. It's that whole warming up thing before that.
First day with the block heater, and the initial trip was definitely on the high side of what I've seen in the past for comparable conditions - 51.8 for 4.6 miles at 18 degrees. The scangauge couldn't make up its mind what about the WT when I first started up... it was 94, then jumped to 109, then back to 94, then down to 82...???
But I was out of stage 1 much earlier for sure.
Net gain for the day from 49.1 to 49.3, still hanging on to 3 pips (and thanks to errands to run around town, and outside temps finally warm enough to use the EV button again
). I'm getting my 50 MPG tank back.
(And of course not stopping there.)
