Friends: 0 |  Why install a engine block heater when you buy your Prius As I understand the Pruis engine the colder it gets the longer it takes for the Gas engine to warm the car up which effects the cars ability to switch to electric and lessens the MPG. With that in mind one could easily plug the engine block heater in on a timer and as the weather gets colder you could set it to come on a couple hours in the morning before you go on your first trip. This would especially help those of us where it gets cold for months. |
