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.

I bought it on Amazon. It cost $51.98 delivered. Here is the description: Phillips Zerostart Heaters 3100129 Eng Htr,400w,120v,Cartridge
I'm going to try to get my crankcase condensation problem under control before I switch to synthetic oils. I'm getting some milkshake under the oil filler cap. I hope to cure it with the block and pan heaters and a PCV system cleaning.
