Nope. I don't do 'modern'. The only thing I had related to that was a vacuum gauge, back in carburettor days. It did work though; and really illustrated how much I could back off the throttle while maintaining the same forward speed, a habit that's stuck with me for years. Block heaters are worthwhile, too. If your daily pattern involves really cold starts it can help, and will cost a minimal amount to run. I take it you'd be installing it yourself? As for tyres; there's Michelin Eco, which claim to enhance mpg, but I'm not too sure how grippy they are. Might be a step backwards. I have looked into the engine block heaters for to celica's and they are built as standard with the port already there for the "canadian market's". Looks pretty easy to install and yup I do use the car from cold starts all the time at the moment a fair few times a day.

My old Toyota diesel didn't have it, but it was never sold in Arctic regions. I ended up buying a by-pass heater which never got fitted in the end.
