[V8] Re: cold weather killing gas mileage (AHA!!!)

[Ed Kellock]

I too run below optimal in the winter unless there's a good long
warmup and then as soon as I start pushing a lot of air through the
nose, it cools off again.
I installed my thermostat and am 99% positive that I put it in
correctly in regard to flow and with the little valve at the top.
