Why stop blending in the winter that is when you should blend.

I run straight in the summer and start blending when the temp gets down below 30 F the lower the temp the greater the blend and I have never had to blen greater than 50/50 I also add a little power service when below 15F just to help. It also depends on the oil you use mine stays liquid down to about 25F before it even starts to cloud up. Then blended is better for winter as it gives enough diesel to start and warm the car without hurting anything. It has also been down to -1 here today and going lower with no problems so far.
