No, thermostats were'nt invented for creature comfort. They were designed just for what they are...to keep engine temps even. Initially, for fuel vaporization. Many engines had thermostats before heaters were introduced.

Sidom: Whole slew of reasons Glenn, from drivability, fuel economy, emissions, owner comfort and yes you can throw engine wear in there as ONE of the many reasons that the main purpose of a thermostat is to maintain minium operating tempature of an engine.

Argue with Sidom on that one. I just listed that for his sake.
