I mean, a block heater in Florida? Certainly it will speed up the already short warm up cycle, but as others have stated, the low hanging fruit is tire pressure and adjustments to the way the vehicle is driven.

Good luck getting anybody, especially a woman to change driving behavior.

As I pointed out, the vehicle itself isn't very efficient, especially for a hybrid. It probably doesn't make sense to get a commuter car considering only 3,650 commute miles per year. You'd only be saving a couple hundred bucks a year in fuel.
