    Yeah, the first grandchild needs to be warm, you know. Of course, thats my kid and I just strap her into the carseat and start driving. Unless the windows need to be defrosted, of course. When the temperature gauge gets to the first notch away from cold then I turn the heat on. We just make sure she is bundled up though. I have been thinking about getting a block heater myself. The Elantra warms up within a mile and the new Rondo gets warmed up in maybe two miles. Of course, I know that they are not at the efficient temperature at that time. At one time I tried the let the car run to warm up, it seems that the Elantra does not seem to create a lot of heat idling. It is almost always faster to run the car to get heat.

    Shaughn, this is true of any vehicle -- idling is not only inefficient, it doesn't warm the car up nearly as fast as driving it will. Especially when the temperatures really get low. I've been out in temps that actually make the temp gauge DROP after a highway run!! :eek: A grill block is your best protection against this and will help your warm up as well.

    With the SGII I will finally be able to monitor coolant temps.

    I just stick a small electric heater inside the car on the floorboard about 5-10 minutes before we leave for a short trip. This warms the inside up without using any fuel and the engine warms up quickly while driving and the heat can then be turned on before the car gets cold inside.

    I'd be interested in another group buy also. I've been hesitating on the link to the left- is that the same group buy as discussed in this thread?

    Hi Zef95:

    ___Yup. I wanted to make sure the final (2) SG-II’s made it to their new owners before we start the next one but if someone follows through on a purchase, the next Group Buy gets started if I like it or not ;)

    ___Good Luck

    If we initiate a purchase to start the group buy and we decide that the group buy is taking too long, can we change our mind? When does the money change hands?

    Thanks!

    Hi Rweatehrford:

    ___You can change your mind at any time. If you believe you may not be able to wait for a Group Buy to complete, please please please purchase it from ScanGauge directly. Trying to reverse a Paypal transaction is not going to be a free exchange and they already take a $5.00 chunk out of the $150 Group Buy price as it is. Add another $5.00 charge for the reversal and $10.00 was wasted before anything was even transacted. That is a no win situation no matter which side of the fence you are standing on :(

    ___Good Luck

    Ok I understand. I'll sit back and let someone else start it.

    I haven't seen much activity here lately. I was curious if Group Buy 3 would be starting soon.

    Hi Skduffy:

    ___I will start one tomorrow if that is ok with you ;)

    ___Remember however, I will be on a small marathon trip w/ a bunch of our fellow CleanMPG’ers across the continent on the 12th and I suspect it will fill while I am somewhere between Somewhere Flats and Nowhere Junction :D Just having a little fun with you is all.

    ___I will post it tomorrow morning.

    ___Good Luck
