It's been cold and rainy, so I've been keeping the heat on high to keep the windows clear and I've run into a "problem" I wasn't expecting. It now takes me nearly 20 miles of my commute to get the engine warm. I guess I'm burning so little fuel that the heater core is all the radiator my engine needs.

The thermostat appears to be working fine, since the temps (slowly) increase to 180°F ± 3°F and then stay there until I got to work.
