Anyway, this may be one of those situations where spending the 0.03 gallons involved in warming the car up once a day might make sense from an overall perspective. Or running it for a little longer once the destination has been reached. The oil, and exhaust system, etc, really do like to reach normal operating temperature on a regular basis. This kind of operation eats mufflers right up. Water sits in it continuously, rather than evaporating out, and it quickly corrodes out from the inside.
