I'm one of them; no aux heaters for me. Just doesn't seem worth it to me, but then again I park on the street and don't want the hassle of extension cords running all over the lawn and driveway.

Still not sure why this oil warmer is so fantastic, as others have said, switching to 0-20 oil seems cheaper and less prone to failure.
