I know next to nothing about this, but I do have a minimum of common sense
(that sound was my wife laughing hysterically). It would seem to me that if
your thermostat were not letting the engine warm up enough, then fiddling
with the coolant ratio would hardly be the ideal solution. It might work,
but so would chaining a bunch of concrete blocks to your back bumper and
dragging them around to make your engine work harder and run hotter. Why
not just put in a hotter thermostat and be done with it?
