Where I live it rarely gets down to 32 degrees. I bought a bag that said 20 degrees. After reading the manual it said that was the extreme rating. Will this bag keep me warm at 32 degrees or not?

I car camp. I have a 6" foam pad.

That should help with the ground. I guess my advice would be to get out there and try it once before it's your coldest season. See if you're comfy at 40⁰ and then take your best guess about another 8⁰

Sounds like a plan. I'm currently at 7000 feet so I'm about to find out.
