Creating ways to increase fuel mileage. Currently using a home made "Hybrid" T-stat rated for 205 Deg F (10 Deg F higher than the stock temperature). Also installed is a cyclonic CCV air/oil separator to keep oil vapors out of the intake tract as much as possible. Soon I hope to implement a Dewar based coolant heat thermal storage device similar to what Toyota Prius used to assist in quick warm up cycles. Considering an engine blanket aswell.
