Hit the road, don’t idle.
Allowing your vehicle idle for long periods of time is actually bad for your vehicle. Did you know that? And it won’t actually help warm up your vehicle. If you’re trying to warm up your vehicle, turn it on, let it run for a minute or two and hit the road. Why? Well, your vehicle warms up off of the heat from the engine. If your vehicle is still parked in your driveway, the engine isn’t “working.” So, if you hop in and hit the road – you will be toasty warm faster than letting your vehicle idle for 20 minutes and then leaving for the day.
Invest in block heaters.
Have you ever heard of a block heater? Me neither. Essentially the same thing as a remote starter, a block heater is less expensive and is designed to warm up your vehicle’s engine rather than just starting your vehicle. What does that mean? That means, your vehicle will warm up faster thanks to this handy gadget. Plus, block heaters can be set on a timer so when you’re ready to leave your engine will be warmed up and ready to hit the road!
10 seconds and go.
If you’re familiar with Stop-and-Go technology, you know that your vehicle turns off when it comes to a full and complete stop more than a few seconds. This is actually a beneficial feature to equip your vehicle with. Not only will this help you save fuel and money, but it also won’t be enough time for your vehicle to cool down. So, don’t worry – you can still save on fuel while staying warm!
