7 km... that's 4.3 miles for our American friends.
Why not bike? (When it's nice out.) Sorry if that offends, but for the low average speed you're driving and over such a short distance, that's what I'd do. (I used to live in Toronto and commuted Beach -> U of T area regularly.)
You'd save yourself ~$350 in 6 months in fuel, plus the cost of parking (if any), plus wear & tear on the car.
Sounds like you're driving well with the hand you were dealt, but in those conditions & with that short trip length, you're up against the wall.
