+1!

willie, do you have a block heater for your car? Having one of those warm up your engine every morning might help a lot with those short trips.

P.S. This may not be super-relevant, but what oil viscosity are you using? You may be able to get away with something that is thinner than spec just because you're almost never getting it up to operating temperature anyway.
