    I've been in contact with Jesse Wright at Metro Toyota and am trying to organize another group purchase for the block heaters. Anyone interested?

    I would be but I have a classic. Will the BH still fit?

    Yes, they carry block heaters for both the 01-03 and the 04-07 models.

    Funny you mention it, I'm going to be posting it in the Shop as the product of the month. Any idea what Jesse's group buy price was?

    I just bought one in early December. It's not that cold in Raleigh, but we do see cold (30 -- yeah that's cold, here) morning temps. I only got around to installing it between Christmas and New Years, had I known it would trigger the warmest weather ever, I would have installed it sooner. Anyway, even on a 50 degree morning, instead of a 25MPG bar, then a 40MPG bar, then a 50 MPG bar, I now get a 30 MPG bar, then a 50 MPG bar, then another one. I really bought it for colder weather and peace of mind for the trips to the frozen north when the car might sit out in 5 below all night. Are the gas savings worth it? I figure my morning commute will see about 2MPG better, 1MPG overall improvement, so it's a tough call. If you have a shorter commute, then it is probably more cost effective, mine is 20 miles or so, and about half is spent warming up it seems.
