Not much you can do with the starting process other than get a whole nother engine or vehicle.
The starter itself doesn't use measurable amounts of fuel. The fuel injection system (or carburetor) provides extra fuel during cranking and for a while until the engine warms up to operating temperature, and that's where most of the extra fuel usage comes from.
The engine needs that to run when it's cold, so there's not a lot you can do about it. Except a block heater, if you can find a place to plug in.
