But if you have, say, a 180 degree thermostat and your car idles at 200, 
then you WOULD see a benefit.

Several months ago I wrote a long post about my positive experience with 
Water Wetter.   I did a before-and-after comparison, and it knocked about 15 
degrees off my ambient temperature at idle.
