Central Connecticut OCCASIOANLY see -0- o'night temps. My car with DELVAC1 and functioning glow plugs starts damn quick with out block heater. I usually use the heater at single digit temps, to assist the oil flow. I have no reservations about it not starting if I forget.
It was not happy in Montreal a few years ago -20° and no heater. A kid in a clapped out rust heap of a Chebby jumped it. I guess warming the battery was enough to get her attention! -- Regards, Peter T.
