Thanks for the responses. As if to prove me wrong, my car is doing a little better day. I am aware of the heated seat trick and usually will do that instead of running the heat, but in this weather I at least have to run the front window defrost periodically so I can see through the windsheild. I do preheat while it's plugged in in the garage. I should check my tire pressure too. Today I started with 41 (heat and eco on) and got to work with 27 remaining (heat and eco, 10 miles of travel). It's also icy out so there is some sliding and spinning of tires. I guess I should count myself lucky that my commute isn't too long.
