If I plugged mine in every night from 6 till 6 $30.00 a month or about a dollar a day.

Oh that's not bad at all. Much cheaper then letting your truck run for twenty minutes to warm up

well i can say after plugging it in for an hour and running it for 20 minutes the temp gauge was only an 1/8 inch off the left side. It still was blowing cold air. -2f is terrible.
