My EMD doesn't need it My truck does!
You can let the truck idle all night like the EMD with all the special fuel your getting.
The block heaters pull 1,000 watts per hour (which is ten 100W bulbs). Our electric company here charges per kilowatt (1,000 watts) and the rate varies based on usage. Based on our usage, we get charged .041 cents per kilowatt. So it costs me just barely over .04/hour to use my block heater. If I leave it on all day and night, it'd cost me $.98 for the full 24 hours. I leave mine plugged in all night on the colder nights (below 30 degrees).
It seems pretty cheap, but that is for around here. We have hydroelectric power from all the damns, I'm sure the guys in the midwest pay an arm and a leg for the power coming from the coal powered plants. I think I will start plugging my truck in as well, anybody have any good recomendations for good magnetic block heaters?
