RE: 180 Thermostat & Mileage

So, let me get this straight. No one has noticed any change in HP, mileage,
or emmisions when changing to a 180 deg thermostat. Our Dakota's don't come
with a 180 stat. So why bother changing over to the 180? I'm doing a
complete service the last week of this month on my Dak, and don't see the
benefit of spending $10 on something that has no effect on my truck. Could
someone explain this to me please?
