I'd be highly concerned going from 50 MPG to 47MPG! You could probably drop 20% (10MPG) and still double what you HAVE been getting!

I recommend that you try to drive it the way you have been all along--just to realize the immediate benefits. Then, after about two tanks of gasoline, try a couple of fuel saving tips to see what a difference they make. Also, if you don't want a block heater (they're only good if you can plug 'em in), consider a low wattage drop light in the garage under the car. I used to do that when I live in Caribou, Maine, to ward off penguins....
