The reason I asked is that LA was probably the capital city for bad vegoil conversions a few years back. Lots of cars running around with little or no heat.

In any event, what works in LA won't necessarily be sufficient in harsher temps. If you plan to repeat this trip, I'd advise installing 12v heat wraps on your injector lines.
