That and people who live in places where -30 is commonplace typically have block heaters.

As far as it being illegal is concerned, it's not a law in too many places around here, but it damn well should be. Do you let your car idle at train crossings or in a stopped traffic jam? That's another waste. I prefer my gas to be wasted in the form of tire burning fun.


never had a block heater... car always started up let it sit while i put my gloves and hat on and away I went. personally i like tire burning fun and well idling doesnt bother me at all i guess i just make up for all the people trying to save the planet.
