I understand that a Volt will end up with considerably better mileage, I agree with you there. I guess one of my concerns would be that the engine would start and run for only a few minutes at a time each day - barely reaching closed loop. My thinking is that running the engine for such a short period of time on a regular basis probably isn't good for it.

I'd say with the hilly terrain on your 58 mile commute that wouldn't be an issue. You'd probably make it to work on EV and less than halfway home, then the ICE would kick in. It would have plenty of time to warm up daily with that kind of commute.
