In my mind, the only use for a remote starter is in really, really cold weather (below 0* F), you could start the car while you're walking to it if it's parked outside. This would give it about 30 - 40 seconds to get the cold fluids flowing by the time you got in and started driving. Otherwise, they're just a waste of gas, especially in something like my Jeep that probably sucks over a gallon an hour at idle (even warmed up).
