My car isn't a daily driver, but even so, almost all my city driving is 2-5km one way. I feel for you. You don't say if your car is standard or auto., it's even harder to hypermile an auto. in your situation I think. The cold eng. is hurting you for sure. besides the block heater, I have a grill block and a belly pan to help keep the heat in. You can pretty much close it right up in the winter, unless you're going out on the highway. The stops are killing you too. If there is anything you could do to minimize the stops, it would help.
