I am a fellow xa driver. Did you get the block heater from the dealer? What did it cost?
I also have a short commute at 2.5 miles each way. I have an 80% grill block mobil1 synthetic oil and try to time lights. It has been in the 20s here so the commute has been brutal currently 23 mpg or so in the xa.
