Do you have links to any posts here? I'd like to know how to get my car up to temperature quickly in these current 20F mornings.

Oh I'm definitely coming to HybridFest

I'm not going to drive the whole way though. Too much for me. I'll be putting my car on the high speed ferry in Muskegon and sailing over to Milwaukee.

I've changed my morning commute route slightly such that it's maybe 1/4 mile longer but when I come to the first light, if I time my speed just right, I can keep a constant 35-40 mph and pass the next 4 or 5 stoplights. That helps a lot than just sitting and idling.
