"For the Hondas, the ***MAIN*** difference is the cold engine."
When it's really cold here (mid-thirties for you snow-birds) the dash temp guage reaches about half (Normal) in about 1.5 miles or about 2-3 minutes.
MPG has improved but the drive train has not warmed up yet.

I usually drive for about 10 miles...or about 15 minutes before I consider it warmed up enough to move the cabin temp off of cold :ph34r:

I'm not sure if I'll try any mods at all this winter given Atlanta's climate.

Efficient drivers do it better.
1003 miles a tank personal record. 74MPG calculated. HCH1 CVT
