Do you have a block heater? The one the goes in the hole in the side of the engine? If it's cold where you live and you drive the car in winter, and can't park in a nice garage, it will be you'r best friend, providing of course you can plug it in. No need to keep it on all night untill it gets down to -20 or so, put a timer on it and set it for what you figure you will need. The heater draws 400 Watts, which is about .04 cents/hour in most places.. Where I live these cars do not start after the really cold stuff sets in, which is from about now till March. Max
