Pan Heater - energy used?

That's great news on the Cruze!

I test drove a Cruze Eco yesterday and it's on my next car consideration list. I'm also considering the Sonic with 1.4 and having a tough time deciding between the two. If the Cruze Eco came as a hatchback in the US, it would be a no-brainer -the Cruze would be the obvious choice. I'd be upset if I got the Sonic, and next year they expanded their ECO line and did mods on the Sonic.

I was curious on your pan heater thoughts. When considering the pan heater, should the usage of electricity be considered in the grand scale of things, as to if the efficiency of the car will be increased in a proportional amount? After all, the electricity costs something.
