I dont believe you! Unless it is a non-standard thermo, 80% of my driving is long distance, and I have NEVER once had them stay on, even at times they could have.

Its not possible with factory thermo's and wiring.. the ciruit which provides power to the thermos requires the key to be in the 'On' position!
